1994 Mercedes-Benz SL600 Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz SL600? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your SL600’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your SL600 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my SL600 transmission fluid need to be checked? Maintaining your Mercedes-Benz SL600 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Mercedes-Benz SL600 transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Mercedes-Benz SL600 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your SL600 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
