When Does My 2020 Mercedes-Benz SL450 Radiator Need Service?

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Mercedes-Benz SL450 radiator serviced, but it’s vital to know what to look for. The radiator is in the cooling system of your car, and it helps your engine temperature stay within a safe range. So, what happens when the radiator isn’t working quite like it should? You guessed it – your engine overheats, and it may even break down completely.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2020 Mercedes-Benz SL450 is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. To keep your radiator functioning, Mercedes-Benz recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator. You could be on the verge of a radiator-induced engine breakdown if you notice a low coolant light or higher-than-normal engine temperatures on your dashboard, or if you spot coolant leaks coming from your car. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check at the first sign of one of these issues.

Pull over to a safe area and wait for the engine to cool down. Then, head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a coolant system check.
  • Can an antifreeze leak wait? It's better to get it fixed sooner than later. Antifreeze is toxic if consumed, but its smell can attract cats and dogs.

  • When should my Mercedes-Benz SL450 radiator be cleaned? To keep your Mercedes-Benz SL450 radiator running well, it’s wise to get it cleaned out a few times a year.
  • What can cause my SL450 to overheat? One of the main reasons your Mercedes-Benz SL450 engine might overheat is because you don’t have enough coolant. Other causes include a clogged radiator, a damaged cooling fan, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a faulty water pump.
  • What is making my SL450 radiator sound like it’s boiling or rumbling? Air pockets in your SL450’s cooling system may cause a rumbling or boiling noise. You could also have a clogged radiator or simply need to replace the radiator cap.
  • Is rust in my SL450 radiator bad? Yes. Rust in your Mercedes-Benz SL450 radiator could reduce cooling efficiency, cause leaks, and even lead to radiator failure.
