2004 Mercedes-Benz S500 Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Mercedes-Benz S500 and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your S500 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your S500, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2004 Mercedes-Benz S500 maintenance schedule!

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. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include 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, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2004 Mercedes-Benz S500 problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2004 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 2004 Mercedes-Benz S500? In general, car batteries only last three to five years.

Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz S500 battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty S500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz S500 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
