2011 Mercedes-Benz S400 Maintenance

When it comes to your Mercedes-Benz S400, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your S400 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get S400 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2011 Mercedes-Benz S400!

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. 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your S400 running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2011 Mercedes-Benz S400 problems later.

Bring your 2011 Mercedes-Benz S400 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your S400’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2011 Mercedes-Benz S400? 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 S400 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz S400 battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty S400) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz S400 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs.
