What is a Mercedes-Benz Tune-Up?

The maintenance tasks included in Mercedes-Benz Service A* and Service B* cover all of the basic services needed to keep your vehicle running safely at full power on Oak Park roads. While a tune-up service requiring a spark plug replacement isn’t part of Service A** or Service B**, according to the Mercedes-Benz Star Prepaid Maintenance*** guide, you should plan on replacing your engine’s spark plugs every 50,000 miles. That being said, the mileage interval for a Mercedes-Benz tune-up service will vary depending on the model and model year. Consult your owner's manual for specifics.

The certified technicians at the Mercedes-Benz of Chicago service center will keep tabs on the health of your vehicle during routine inspections and will let you know when tune-up services, such as spark plug replacement, are due. In addition, the Mercedes-Benz Flexible Service System (FSS) will continually monitor your engine’s performance and alert you whenever your vehicle needs service. Here’s what is typically thought to be included in general tune-up services:

  • Replace the spark plugs and wires
  • Set the ignition timing
  • Replace the engine air filter
  • Replace the fuel filter
  • Clean the fuel system and other vital engine parts
  • Check the exhaust system

Your Mercedes-Benz isn’t like other vehicles, so a general “tune-up” may not apply. Nonetheless, required Mercedes-Benz tune-up services and their service intervals will differ depending on your model and model year. For example:

  • Mercedes-Benz models from 2009 to 2014 need an engine air filter replacement at 40,000 miles, which coincides with your Service B maintenance.
  • CLA and GLA AMG® models usually need the engine air filter replaced every 10,000 miles, which falls in line with both Service A and Service B intervals.
  • Additional services, such as fuel filter replacement, ignition timing, and fuel system cleaning, are also determined by the model and model year.

One of our Mercedes-Benz service professionals will be happy to discuss your Mercedes-Benz tune-up questions or concerns.

How Long Do Spark Plugs Last?

Conventional copper spark plugs generally have a lifespan of around 30,000 to 50,000 miles, while iridium or platinum spark plugs can last up to 100,000 miles. Where you drive and your driving habits can influence how often you will need to replace your spark plugs. If your Mercedes-Benz is difficult or slow to start, or is experiencing rough idling, engine misfiring, or a decrease in power, it could indicate that you need to replace the spark plugs.
