7 Maintenance Booklet
Tire manufacturer’s rotation
recommendations will necessitate a tire
rotation at least once in between
maintenance services and at every
maintenance service based on
Mercedes-Benz SLR maintenance
intervals
.
The first tire rotation is at no charge pro-
vided it is performed at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center prior to
5,000 miles on the vehicle odometer.
For your convenience, this Maintenance
Booklet contains a tire rotation confirma-
tion page on which you can record the
date and mileage when tire rotations
were performed.
Spark Plugs should be replaced accord-
ing to schedule on page 57. Severe oper-
ating conditions (frequent starting and
stopping, excessive idling, sustained fast
highway driving) may call for spark plugs
to be replaced correspondingly sooner.Engine oils and oil filters are specifical-
ly tested for their suitability in our en-
gines and durability for our service
intervals. Therefore, only use approved
engine oils and oil filters required for ve-
hicles with Maintenance System. Con-
ventional petroleum-based oils must not
be used for vehicles equipped with the
Mercedes-Benz Maintenance System.
The following cases are not covered by
the Mercedes-Benz New Car Limited
Warranty:
• Using engine oils and oil filters of spec-
ification other than those expressly re-
quired for the Maintenance System.
• Changing of oil and oil filter at change
intervals longer than those called for
by the Maintenance System.
• Using any oil additives.
Mercedes-Benz recommends
MOBIL 1 OIL.
Use the MB sheet number 229.3 and only
SAE 5W-50 engine oils.
MB sheet numbers are printed on the out-
side of oil containers.

Maintenance Booklet8IntroductionRegular checks
In addition to the services, we recom-
mend that you check the following items
regularly (for example: weekly, when re-
fueling, or before any long journey):
• Engine oil level - Check the engine oil
level using the engine oil dipstick. Fur-
ther information about engine oil level
measurement can be found in the vehi-
cle Operator’s Manual.
• Coolant level - Please refer to the Op-
erator’s Manual for the correct proce-
dure to check the coolant level.
• Brake fluid level - If brake fluid has to
be added, see an authorized Mer-
cedes-Benz Center to determine the
cause, e.g. leaks or worn brake pads.• Windshield washing system - If the
washer fluid level drops below 1/3, the
windshield washer fluid level warning
lamp will illuminate. Add washer fluid
mixed with Mercedes-Benz windshield
washer solvent/concentrate, test
function and check wiper blades.
• Check lights
• Tire condition and pressures –
Check at least every other week.
Please refer to section “Tires and
wheels” in the Operator’s Manual for
