What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLK350

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your SLK350's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Mercedes-Benz, from back to front.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLK350, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
