Questions About 2018 Mercedes-Benz G550 4x4’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Mercedes-Benz tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your G550 4x4 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my G550 4x4 transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Mercedes-Benz G550 4x4’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Mercedes-Benz, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Mercedes-Benz G550 4x4 transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Mercedes-Benz G550 4x4 can develop a transmission fluid leak.
