2017 Mercedes-Benz G550 Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Mercedes-Benz G550, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your G550 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine G550 maintenance. Just follow your 2017 Mercedes-Benz G550 maintenance schedule!

Mercedes-Benz knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your G550 perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2017 Mercedes-Benz G550 problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2017 Mercedes-Benz G550 and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your G550. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 2017 Mercedes-Benz G550 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz G550 battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. 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 G550 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2017 Mercedes-Benz G550 engine. See Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2017 G550 in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2017 Mercedes-Benz G550.

If you fall behind on routine Mercedes-Benz G550 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.
