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

Bring your 1996 Mercedes-Benz SL320 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check.

Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your SL320's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1996 Mercedes-Benz SL320. 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your SL320 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 SL320 battery.

Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your SL320 stranded. Your Mercedes-Benz SL320 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1996 Mercedes-Benz SL320 running newer, longer.
