2006 Mercedes-Benz S500 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Mercedes-Benz S500 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your S500. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get S500 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2006 Mercedes-Benz S500!

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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your S500's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2006 Mercedes-Benz S500 problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2006 Mercedes-Benz S500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. 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.

Could your 2006 Mercedes-Benz S500 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your S500 may need a replacement battery sooner. 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. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Mercedes-Benz S500 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2006 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 2006 S500. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. 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 2006 Mercedes-Benz S500.

Routine upkeep for your Mercedes-Benz S500 suspension and steering system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle.

You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Mercedes-Benz S500 steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Mercedes-Benz S500's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Mercedes-Benz S500 services, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C.
