2013 Mercedes-Benz S400 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your S400 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your S400 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my S400 transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Mercedes-Benz S400’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Mercedes-Benz. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Mercedes-Benz S400 transmission fluid leak? Yes. Mercedes-Benz S400 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
