What to Know About 2020 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Mercedes-Benz SL550 and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your SL550 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your SL550, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2020 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, recommended maintenance usually includes 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 SL550 perform better, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2020 Mercedes-Benz SL550 problems.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Mercedes-Benz SL550

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2020 Mercedes-Benz SL550 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your SL550’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2020 Mercedes-Benz SL550 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your SL550 may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the 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 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

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 2020 Mercedes-Benz SL550 running newer, longer. To learn how often Mercedes-Benz recommends you have the oil changed in your 2020 SL550, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. 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 2020 Mercedes-Benz SL550.

Routine upkeep for your Mercedes-Benz SL550 suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide Mercedes-Benz SL550 steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Mercedes-Benz SL550's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Mercedes-Benz SL550 services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Mercedes-Benz SL550 engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning.

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my Mercedes-Benz SL550? You know your Mercedes-Benz SL550 better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving.

  • When should I switch my Mercedes-Benz SL550 to high mileage oil? If your Mercedes-Benz SL550 has ticked past 75,000 miles, consider switching to high mileage oil at your next oil change to give your engine what it needs to go another 75,000 (or more!). High mileage oil: make it a high priority!

Bring your Mercedes-Benz SL550 in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light.
