2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Maintenance

You want your Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your SLS AMG has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your SLS AMG, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG maintenance schedule!

Mercedes-Benz knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your SLS AMG's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your SLS AMG's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2011 SLS AMG. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG's steering and suspension system.

Without routine Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG maintenance, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.
