2018 Mercedes-Benz S450 Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Mercedes-Benz S450, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your S450. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your S450, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2018 Mercedes-Benz S450 maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercedes-Benz, your vehicle manufacturer. 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; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your S450's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2018 Mercedes-Benz S450 problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2018 Mercedes-Benz S450 and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your S450. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2018 Mercedes-Benz S450? 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). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz S450 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty S450) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz S450 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 2018 Mercedes-Benz S450's engine run smoother.
