You want your Mercedes-Benz GL550 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your GL550 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark.

It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL550!

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

Overview of Essential Mercedes-Benz GL550 Maintenance Needs

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL550 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your GL550’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL550? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to 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 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 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL550's engine run smoother. See Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2013 GL550 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. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL550? We can help with that, too!

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Mercedes-Benz GL550? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When does my Mercedes-Benz GL550 need high mileage oil? If your Mercedes-Benz GL550 has ticked past 75,000 miles, consider switching to high mileage oil at your next oil change to give your engine what it needs to go another 75,000 (or more!). High mileage oil: make it a high priority!
  • Can Mercedes-Benz dashboard warning lights wait? Because there might be a problem under the hood. Those warning lights are there for a reason! As soon as you notice that one’s illuminated, take your Mercedes-Benz GL550 to Firestone Complete Auto Care so you can address any small problems long before they worsen.
