Can Mercedes-Benz service save me money?

Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Mercedes-Benz drivetrain system?

Hear noises toward the back of your Mercedes-Benz SL400? 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.

When should I come in for Mercedes-Benz SL400 differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my SL400?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your SL400’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you reset your SL400’s malfunction warning light at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your SL400's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your SL400.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my SL400?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your SL400, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Does my SL400 transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your SL400 is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL400, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
