Questions About 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG’s Transmission

  • 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • How often does my SL65 AMG transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2013 SL65 AMG’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Mercedes-Benz's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your SL65 AMG ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
