1999 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Mercedes-Benz SL500 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your SL500. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your SL500, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL500 maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mercedes-Benz themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your SL500 perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL500 problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your SL500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL500? 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). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz SL500 battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty SL500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz SL500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL500 engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1999 SL500. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL500.

Maintaining your Mercedes-Benz SL500 steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions.

Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Mercedes-Benz SL500 steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Mercedes-Benz SL500's steering system require regular maintenance.

Is it time to replace the radiator in your Mercedes-Benz SL500? We got it. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re on it.
