2001 Mercedes-Benz S500 Maintenance Schedule

You want your Mercedes-Benz S500 to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your S500 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 S500 maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2001 Mercedes-Benz S500!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercedes-Benz, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your S500's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2001 Mercedes-Benz S500 problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2001 Mercedes-Benz S500 and our technicians will jump right in 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your S500's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2001 Mercedes-Benz S500? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mercedes-Benz S500 battery, and so can frequent short drives. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty S500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz S500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2001 Mercedes-Benz S500 engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2001 S500. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2001 Mercedes-Benz S500.
