It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1996 Mercedes-Benz S600!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercedes-Benz, your vehicle manufacturer.

Bring your 1996 Mercedes-Benz S600 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your S600. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 1996 Mercedes-Benz S600 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your S600 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 S600 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your S600 stranded. Your Mercedes-Benz S600 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

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 1996 Mercedes-Benz S600 running newer, longer.

We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1996 Mercedes-Benz S600.
