2009 Mercedes-Benz S550 Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Mercedes-Benz S550, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your S550 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine S550 maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2009 Mercedes-Benz S550!

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. 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; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your S550 running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2009 Mercedes-Benz S550 problems in the future.

Bring your 2009 Mercedes-Benz S550 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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 S550'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 2009 Mercedes-Benz S550? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your S550 may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz S550 battery. 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 S550 stranded. Your Mercedes-Benz S550 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2009 Mercedes-Benz S550 engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2009 S550. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2009 Mercedes-Benz S550.
