How does Mercedes-Benz drivetrain maintenance help save money?

When should I come in for Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG differential service?

We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my G65 AMG?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your G65 AMG can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you clear the G65 AMG check engine light on your own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your G65 AMG's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your G65 AMG.

If your G65 AMG has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my G65 AMG?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your G65 AMG includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your G65 AMG forward.

2016 Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG Drivetrain Service

Your G65 AMG drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your G65 AMG’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2016 Mercedes-Benz G65 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.

When to Get Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2016 Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG may need driveshaft attention if you feel resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. A lot depends on your driving style and climate. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2016 Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Major repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
