Here’s Why 2004 Mercedes-Benz ML350 Scheduled Maintenance Matters

You want your Mercedes-Benz ML350 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your ML350. 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 ML350 maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2004 Mercedes-Benz ML350!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mercedes-Benz themselves. 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 fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your ML350 perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2004 Mercedes-Benz ML350 problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2004 Mercedes-Benz ML350 and an expert technician will begin by performing 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2004 Mercedes-Benz ML350. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. 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 ML350 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty ML350) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz ML350 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Mercedes-Benz ML350? 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 should I switch my Mercedes-Benz ML350 to high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Mercedes-Benz ML350 engines.
  • Can Mercedes-Benz dashboard warning lights wait? It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible.
