2006 Mercedes-Benz R500 Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Mercedes-Benz R500 and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your R500. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your R500, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2006 Mercedes-Benz R500!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mercedes-Benz themselves. 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 fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your R500 perform better, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2006 Mercedes-Benz R500 problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2006 Mercedes-Benz R500 and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your R500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2006 Mercedes-Benz R500? In general, car batteries only last 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 R500 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your R500 stranded. Your Mercedes-Benz R500 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 support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2006 Mercedes-Benz R500 running newer, longer. See Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2006 R500 in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2006 Mercedes-Benz R500.
