You want your Mercedes-Benz SL600 to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your SL600.

It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine SL600 maintenance. Just follow your 2002 Mercedes-Benz SL600 maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercedes-Benz, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your SL600 running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2002 Mercedes-Benz SL600 problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2002 Mercedes-Benz SL600 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your SL600’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2002 Mercedes-Benz SL600 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 SL600 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 SL600 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 SL600) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz SL600 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
