How does Mercedes-Benz drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

How do I know if my Mercedes-Benz drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a S65 AMG?

Can my S65 AMG malfunction warning light be reset at home?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your S65 AMG, but it's important to resist the urge.

All About 2009 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your S65 AMG's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Mercedes-Benz, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your S65 AMG and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2009 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

Your S65 AMG might need driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.

So much depends on the climate and your driving style. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG drives.

How much does it cost to fix your 2009 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable.
