2013 Mercedes-Benz S400 Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Mercedes-Benz S400, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your S400 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. 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 S400 maintenance. Just follow your 2013 Mercedes-Benz S400 maintenance schedule!

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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your S400 perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2013 Mercedes-Benz S400 problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2013 Mercedes-Benz S400 and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. 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 2013 Mercedes-Benz S400? Batteries generally need to be replaced every 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mercedes-Benz S400 battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 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 prevent premature wear on your 2013 Mercedes-Benz S400 engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2013 S400. 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 2013 Mercedes-Benz S400.
