The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercedes-Benz, your vehicle manufacturer.

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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL550. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your GL550 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz GL550 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. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty GL550) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz GL550 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 support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL550 running newer, longer. To learn how often Mercedes-Benz recommends you have the oil changed in your 2009 GL550, check out the information table at the beginning of this page.
