Can Mercedes-Benz service save me money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

How do I know if my Mercedes-Benz drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a SL65 AMG?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your SL65 AMG can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can my SL65 AMG malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your SL65 AMG's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your SL65 AMG.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my SL65 AMG?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your SL65 AMG, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my SL65 AMG?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your SL65 AMG’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your SL65 AMG forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

You can minimize repairs by following Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
