Questions About 2007 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren’s Transmission

  • What can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small.

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 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, potentially causing transmission problems.
