Mercedes SL 350 FAQ's
How do I change a flat tire on my Mercedes SL 350?
To change a flat tire on your Mercedes SL 350, first, ensure that the vehicle is parked on a flat and stable surface. Locate the spare tire, jack, and lug wrench in the trunk or under the vehicle. Use the lug wrench to loosen the lug nuts, then use the jack to lift the vehicle off the ground. Remove the lug nuts, take off the flat tire, and install the spare tire. Tighten the lug nuts, lower the vehicle, and then fully tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern.

To check the transmission fluid level in your Mercedes SL 350, ensure that the engine is warm and the vehicle is on a level surface. Locate the transmission dipstick, which is usually identified by a yellow handle, and remove it. Wipe the dipstick clean, reinsert it fully, and then remove it again. The fluid level should be between the "Min" and "Max" marks on the dipstick. If necessary, add the recommended transmission fluid through the dipstick tube.

Mercedes-Benz recommends using their own proprietary coolant, such as Mercedes-Benz Genuine Engine Coolant (MB 325.0), for your Mercedes SL 350. This coolant is specifically designed to provide optimal cooling performance and corrosion protection for the engine. Mixing different coolant types can lead to coolant system damage, so it is important to use the recommended coolant.
What is the recommended tire pressure for my Mercedes SL 350?
The recommended tire pressure for your Mercedes SL 350 can vary depending on the specific model and tire size. It is best to refer to the tire pressure placard located on the driver's side door jamb or consult your owner's manual for the correct tire pressure specifications.

Start the engine of the functioning vehicle and let it run for a few minutes, then try starting your Mercedes SL 350. If the battery remains dead, it may need to be replaced.
What type of oil should I use for my Mercedes SL 350?
