2005 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load.

  • When should I have my SL55 AMG's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Mercedes-Benz, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG leak transmission fluid? Yes. Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
