2003 Mercedes-Benz S500 Maintenance

You want your Mercedes-Benz S500 to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your S500 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your S500, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2003 Mercedes-Benz S500!

Mercedes-Benz knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of 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 S500's life, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2003 Mercedes-Benz S500 problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2003 Mercedes-Benz S500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. 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 2003 Mercedes-Benz S500? In general, car batteries only last 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 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your S500 stranded. Your Mercedes-Benz S500 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 support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2003 Mercedes-Benz S500 running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2003 S500. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2003 Mercedes-Benz S500.
