Will it hurt my Mercedes-Benz S400 to drive with old spark plugs?

Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.

What does a puddle underneath my Mercedes-Benz S400 mean?

Puddles could indicate an oil leak, coolant leak, or brake fluid leak– all of which can critically hurt your engine. Have your engine inspected as soon as you spot a pool of liquid in your usual parking spot.

Are some driving habits better for my Mercedes-Benz S400 engine than others?

Hard starts and stops put extra wear and tear on engine components. Smooth, gradual starts and stops, on the other hand, are a great way to help your engine run better. They can also help maximize your fuel economy.

How often should I clean my Mercedes-Benz S400 fuel injectors?

Tune Into Your Mercedes-Benz S400

Is your engine overdue for a tune-up? If you tend to ignore your car until something goes wrong, now is the time to work on that habit, particularly if you want to keep your 2013 Mercedes-Benz S400 in tip-top shape. Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your S400’s engine. Tune-ups help your engine start smoothly and run efficiently, which can lead to lower emission levels and better fuel economy. When you follow the guidelines specified by Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle’s tune-up schedule, you can rest assured you’re investing in your S400’s long-term engine performance.

Routine Engine Tune-Up Service for Your Mercedes-Benz S400

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 2013 Mercedes-Benz S400. The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option. It includes a complete visual inspection of engine components, installation of new spark plugs, and a lifetime warranty on parts*. Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your S400. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter. Yet another service is a fuel system cleaning process, which involves removing varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits that have built up inside the fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate in your S400. This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance). Keep in mind that your S400's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs. This means that a tune-up service that’s a great fit for another car may not be optimal for yours. Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.
