With routine Mercedes-Benz maintenance, you can protect your vehicle and even improve its lifespan. Maintenance needs can vary depending on your vehicle. However, there are three common tasks everyone needs before spring, which we’re highlighting at Mercedes-Benz of Lynnwood.

Brake Inspection

The excess moisture and salt on the roads during the winter can lead to rust and corrosion on your brakes. Before spring begins, it’s important to have your brake system inspected. You want to ensure that there isn’t any excessive wear that may make your brakes ineffective. We’ll also replace the brake pads and brake fluid, if they’re ready to be replaced.

Wheel Alignment

Your vehicle’s suspension is largely responsible for your vehicle’s steering, handling, and stability, which also affects your comfort on the road. A wheel alignment adjusts your suspension system until all your tires are perfectly parallel. This doesn’t just improve your vehicle’s performance; it also helps to limit tire wear and can improve your fuel efficiency. A wheel alignment also ensures your vehicle is safe to drive.

Engine Oil Change

Cold winter temperatures can also affect your engine oil by causing it to thicken. When oil becomes thicker, it may not flow as easily through the engine, making it harder to properly lubricate critical components. This can increase friction between moving parts, which may contribute to overheating and unnecessary engine strain. As a result, the engine has to work harder than usual, potentially leading to premature wear over time. Reduced lubrication can also affect overall efficiency, causing the vehicle to use more fuel than normal.
