2011 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Mercedes-Benz SL550 to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your SL550. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get SL550 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2011 Mercedes-Benz SL550 maintenance schedule!

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, 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 SL550 running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2011 Mercedes-Benz SL550 problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2011 Mercedes-Benz SL550 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your SL550. 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2011 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz SL550 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 SL550) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz SL550 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2011 Mercedes-Benz SL550 running newer, longer. To learn how often Mercedes-Benz recommends you have the oil changed in your 2011 SL550, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil.
