2016 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 Questions & Answers

About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Mercedes-Benz, so check with your technician first. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Mercedes-Benz SLK350 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Mercedes-Benz SLK350 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
