2008 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Mercedes-Benz SL550 and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your SL550 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your SL550, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2008 Mercedes-Benz SL550!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercedes-Benz, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your SL550 perform better, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2008 Mercedes-Benz SL550 problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2008 Mercedes-Benz SL550 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your SL550's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2008 Mercedes-Benz SL550. 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your SL550 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mercedes-Benz SL550 battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 SL550 stranded. Your Mercedes-Benz SL550 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2008 Mercedes-Benz SL550 engine. See Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2008 SL550 in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2008 Mercedes-Benz SL550? We can help with that, too!
