2014 Mercedes-Benz GL550 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz GL550? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your GL550 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.

A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Mercedes-Benz. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Mercedes-Benz GL550 transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Mercedes-Benz GL550, potentially causing transmission problems.
