1998 Mercedes-Benz S320 Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Mercedes-Benz S320, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your S320. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your S320, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1998 Mercedes-Benz S320!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mercedes-Benz themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your S320 running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1998 Mercedes-Benz S320 problems later.

Bring your 1998 Mercedes-Benz S320 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. 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 1998 Mercedes-Benz S320. 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your S320 may need a replacement battery sooner. 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.
