How often should I come in for Mercedes-Benz E53 AMG differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my E53 AMG?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your E53 AMG can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Is it possible to reset the E53 AMG malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your E53 AMG’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my E53 AMG?

A drivetrain malfunction in your E53 AMG should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my E53 AMG drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your E53 AMG’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your E53 AMG forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

All About 2019 Mercedes-Benz E53 AMG Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your E53 AMG's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Mercedes-Benz, from the axles to the transmission.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2019 Mercedes-Benz E53 AMG, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
