Maintenance Schedule for the Mercedes-Benz C260L?
2 Answers
The warranty period is three years or 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. The maintenance schedule is every 5,000 kilometers. Below are the details: 1. First Maintenance Free: The first maintenance is free, and the second maintenance waives the labor fee. The maintenance interval is every 5,000 kilometers. Under normal conditions, the engine timing chain system, electric power steering system, MT and CVT transmission fluids are maintenance-free for life. 2. Replacement Parts: Replace the cabin air filter every 20,000 kilometers, the engine air filter and brake fluid every 40,000 kilometers. The fuel filter and automatic transmission fluid should be replaced every 80,000 kilometers, while the spark plugs need replacement every 100,000 kilometers.
I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz C260L for three years, and maintenance really depends on daily usage. The manufacturer recommends a minor service every 10,000 kilometers or once a year, but with my daily city commuting plus school runs, I usually need a check-up around 7,000-8,000 kilometers. Remember, the first service was done at 8,000 kilometers, including an oil and filter change plus a full vehicle inspection; at 20,000 kilometers, I replaced the cabin air filter and brake fluid. The key is not to just focus on mileage—pay attention to tire pressure monitoring alerts and maintenance reminders popping up on the central display. Last week, the 40,000-kilometer major service cost over 2,000 yuan, involving transmission fluid and spark plug replacements. The mechanic mentioned that with so many sensors in this car, delayed maintenance can easily trigger fault codes.
