2008 Mercedes-Benz GL450 Maintenance

Take care of your Mercedes-Benz GL450 and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your GL450 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine GL450 maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL450!

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. 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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your GL450's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL450 problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL450 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your GL450's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL450 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. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz GL450 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! 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 GL450 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

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 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL450 engine. To learn how often Mercedes-Benz recommends you have the oil changed in your 2008 GL450, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL450? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Mercedes-Benz GL450 steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Mercedes-Benz GL450 steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Mercedes-Benz GL450's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Mercedes-Benz GL450 maintenance, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.
