What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG?

You know your Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.

When does my Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG need high mileage oil?

Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG engines.

Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Mercedes-Benz?

Because there might be a problem under the hood. Those warning lights are there for a reason! As soon as you notice that one’s illuminated, take your Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG to Firestone Complete Auto Care so you can address any small problems long before they worsen.

Your Guide to 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your SL65 AMG has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine SL65 AMG maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mercedes-Benz themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; 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.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Running Newer, Longer

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your SL65 AMG. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your SL65 AMG may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your SL65 AMG stranded. Your Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG's engine run smoother. See Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2013 SL65 AMG in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. 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 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG.

Routine upkeep for your Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication.
