2017 Mercedes-Benz SL450 Maintenance Schedule

You want your Mercedes-Benz SL450 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your SL450 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine SL450 maintenance. Just follow your 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL450 maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercedes-Benz, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your SL450 running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL450 problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL450 and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your SL450. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL450. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to 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 SL450 battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your SL450 stranded. Your Mercedes-Benz SL450 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL450 engine. See Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2017 SL450 in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL450? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Mercedes-Benz SL450 can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, perform Mercedes-Benz SL450 suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Mercedes-Benz SL450's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Mercedes-Benz SL450 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally!
