Check at 20,000 miles, replace as needed. Inspect annually.

Cabin Air Filter Replacement:

Check annually, replace as needed (recommend every 10,000-15,000 miles).

Spark Plug Replacement:

Refer to specific interval for engine variant (e.g., M271: ~60,000 miles; M272: ~100,000 miles)

Brake Fluid Flush:

Every 2 years, regardless of mileage.

Transmission Fluid Change Auto:

Mercedes-Benz originally stated 'lifetime' for the 5G-TRONIC, but recommended change every 40,000-60,000 miles by independent specialists to prevent premature wear.

Fluid Specifications

Known Issues

Transmission Bottleneck 5G:

Potential for 'limp mode' or hard shifting due to conductor plate failure or solenoid wear in the 5G-TRONIC transmission, often exacerbated by infrequent fluid changes.

Air Matic Suspension Issues:

While not standard on all SLK models, air suspension components (struts, compressor) can be a failure point on higher-spec models or if fitted.

Vario Roof Mechanism:

Hydraulic leaks, pump failures, or sensor issues with the retractable hardtop can occur over time, often due to low hydraulic fluid or seal degradation.

Electronic Modules:

Intermittent electrical faults or module failures (e.g., ECU, SAM units) can occur, often related to water ingress or aging wiring harnesses.

Engine M271 Kompressor:

Balance shaft chain guide wear, timing chain tensioner issues, and oil leaks from the supercharger or valve cover gasket are commonly reported.
