2013 Mercedes-Benz E550 Maintenance

When it comes to your Mercedes-Benz E550, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your E550. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get E550 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2013 Mercedes-Benz E550 maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercedes-Benz, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your E550 running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2013 Mercedes-Benz E550 problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2013 Mercedes-Benz E550 and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your E550’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2013 Mercedes-Benz E550 be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your E550 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz E550 battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Mercedes-Benz E550 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2013 Mercedes-Benz E550 running newer, longer. See Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2013 E550 in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2013 Mercedes-Benz E550? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Mercedes-Benz E550 can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Mercedes-Benz E550 suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Mercedes-Benz E550's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Mercedes-Benz E550 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Mercedes-Benz E550 engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Mercedes-Benz E550? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it.
