1996 Mercedes-Benz S320 Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Mercedes-Benz S320, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your S320 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. 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 S320 maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1996 Mercedes-Benz S320!

Mercedes-Benz knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your S320's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1996 Mercedes-Benz S320 problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1996 Mercedes-Benz S320 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your S320's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1996 Mercedes-Benz S320. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz S320 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 S320 stranded. Your Mercedes-Benz S320 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1996 Mercedes-Benz S320's engine run smoother. See Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1996 S320 in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil.
