2012 Mercedes-Benz GL350 Maintenance

You want your Mercedes-Benz GL350 to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your GL350 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get GL350 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2012 Mercedes-Benz GL350!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercedes-Benz, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your GL350's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2012 Mercedes-Benz GL350 problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2012 Mercedes-Benz GL350 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your GL350's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2012 Mercedes-Benz GL350 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). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz GL350 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. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your GL350 stranded. Your Mercedes-Benz GL350 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2012 Mercedes-Benz GL350 engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2012 GL350. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle.
