2018 Mercedes-Benz SLC300 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Mercedes-Benz tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your SLC300 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your SLC300 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my SLC300 transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2018 SLC300’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Mercedes-Benz. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
