  • How much can my Mercedes-Benz tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your SLK55 AMG towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your SLK55 AMG is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my SLK55 AMG transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG, potentially causing transmission problems.
