1998 Mercedes-Benz S600 Maintenance Schedule

You want your Mercedes-Benz S600 to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your S600 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine S600 maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1998 Mercedes-Benz S600!

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 fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your S600 perform better, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 1998 Mercedes-Benz S600 problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1998 Mercedes-Benz S600 and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. 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 1998 Mercedes-Benz S600 be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall 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. 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 S600 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1998 Mercedes-Benz S600 engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1998 S600. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1998 Mercedes-Benz S600.

To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Mercedes-Benz S600's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended Mercedes-Benz S600 services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.
