1997 Mercedes-Benz S320 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. But how do you know what service to get and when? 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 1997 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your S320 running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1997 Mercedes-Benz S320 problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1997 Mercedes-Benz S320 and our technicians will jump right in with 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 S320’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1997 Mercedes-Benz S320 be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz S320 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 S320) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz S320 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 1997 Mercedes-Benz S320 running newer, longer. See Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1997 S320 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. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1997 Mercedes-Benz S320.

These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement.
