Three Service Essentials for Older Mercedes-Benz Models

When it comes to the Mercedes-Benz service you can rely on, Keyes European has you covered. We’ll help you at every step of the process, including protecting and maintaining your vehicle for many more rides to come. Here are a few service tasks you can schedule to extend the life of your older Mercedes-Benz vehicle.

1. Change the Brake Pads

While you’ll want to change your brake pads reasonably regularly, they don’t need service nearly as often as other parts and systems. Most Mercedes-Benz vehicles can go anywhere from 30,000 to 70,000 miles without a brake pad replacement. If you’ve never replaced the brake pads or purchased the car pre-owned and there’s no record of brake pad replacements, it may be time to schedule brake service.

2. Replace the Tires

There are many benefits to replacing the tires on your older Mercedes-Benz vehicle, like a boost in vehicle responsiveness and improved fuel economy. It’s recommended that tires be replaced no less than every six years or if you notice signs of wear or damage, like low tread, bulging or visible damage to the tires, and a bumpy or uncomfortable ride.

3. Make the Swap to High-Mileage Oil

Oil changes are essential, especially as your vehicle gets older. But the next time you bring your older Mercedes-Ben vehicle in for an oil change, you’ll want to change over to high-mileage oil rather than synthetic or synthetic blend oil. High-mileage oil helps to reduce oil leaks and keeps older engines operating at maximum capacity.
