2001 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your S55 AMG’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my S55 AMG transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Mercedes-Benz's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG, potentially causing transmission problems.
