As a high-quality vehicle, your Mercedes-Benz needs high-quality care. You strive to make the best choices for the health of your car, but this can be harder than it sounds. Misinformation is everywhere when it comes to car service, and you may have heard (and believed) myths about cars and their maintenance over the years. That’s why we’re debunking some of the most common myths below. Keep reading to get the facts, and if your Mercedes-Benz is ready for service, make an appointment here at Mercedes-Benz of Cincinnati today.
This is one of the most prevalent car myths, and while a 3,000-mile interval used to be standard for oil changes, it isn’t necessary to change your oil that often today. Modern engines are far more advanced than engines of the past, and today’s vehicles run far more efficiently thanks to innovations in engine design. This means that most vehicles made in the past 15 years will need oil changes every 5,000-7,000 miles, or perhaps even longer. For a specific recommendation for your vehicle, ask one of our Mercedes-Benz service advisors, or refer to your owner’s manual.
All-season tires will serve you well in most weather conditions, but in extreme weather, you’ll want a set of specialized tires between you and the road. Snowy winter driving is much safer with winter tires, as these tires provide increased traction on icy roads. Similarly, summer tires can provide better handling when the temperature outside is scorching hot (and the pavement is, too). Consider investing in specialized tires to have the best and safest driving experience in your Mercedes-Benz.
Again, this is a myth that applied to cars of the past, but it’s not applicable today. Modern cars don’t need to be warmed up before driving, and in fact, letting your car idle does more harm than good. Your engine will actually warm up faster as you drive, so avoid burning gas and creating emissions unnecessarily by starting up your car and driving Non aggressively while the engine warms.
Waiting until your tire tread reaches 2/32” deep is cutting it too close for comfort. It’s a better idea to replace your tires when the tread is at 4/32”. This ensures you can still drive safely (especially in inclement weather) while you shop for tires. We offer a wide selection of tires here at Mercedes-Benz of Cincinnati, and you can even order your next set online.
It may seem like premium gas is “healthier” for your car — after all, it’s more expensive, and that usually means higher quality. However, most vehicles don’t need premium gas to perform at their best. Regular, 87-octane gasoline is perfectly healthy for most vehicles. Premium gasoline is recommended for high-performance models, as the higher octane reduces the chance of engine knocking. If you aren’t driving a sports car, you can save money by filling up with regular gasoline. Follow the advice in your vehicle’s owner’s manual.
These are only some of the pervasive myths we’ve heard here at our service center. If you have another service tip that you think might be a myth, don’t hesitate to chat about it with our service technicians. They’ll be happy to give you the facts and help create a customized service schedule that fits your vehicle perfectly. Schedule your next service appointment on our website today, and we’ll look forward to serving you soon.

As you drive your Mercedes-Benz around Cincinnati, your vehicle’s tires naturally wear down due to the friction between the rubber and the road. While gradual wear is expected, uneven wear and tear is a sign that your vehicle is unbalanced or misaligned. Below, we cover the types of uneven tire wear, what each type means, and how tire rotations and wheel alignments can help.
To get the most out of your tires, and to drive safely and efficiently, it’s essential that you schedule regular service at a certified Mercedes-Benz service provider. If you’re searching for a tire alignment near you, the Mercedes-Benz of Cincinnati service team is here to help. Schedule an appointment on our website today, and our experienced technicians will ensure your model is road-ready.
Tire Wear Chart | Pattern | Potential Cause |
| Wear on outer/inner edges of tire | Misalignment, underinflation |
| Wear on center of tire | Overinflation |
| Heavy wear on one side | Misalignment/other suspension issues |
| Irregular wear | Suspension issues, aggressive driving |
If you inspect your tires and notice unusual tire wear patterns, the placement of those patterns can give you clues as to their cause. In general, uneven wear is often caused by the car being off-balance in some way, whether that’s due to a misalignment or problems with the suspension. You also might see uneven wear due to your driving habits. If you frequently screech to a halt, corner aggressively, bump into curbs, or accelerate forcefully, your tires can suffer.
However, the cause of uneven wear can be something as simple as your tire pressure. Many drivers aren’t aware of the connection between high or low tire pressure and faster tire wear. Check your tire pressure to ensure that all four tires are at the manufacturer-recommended PSI (as shown on your door jamb or in your owner’s manual). If they’re all properly inflated, something else is causing the uneven wear.
Now that we’ve covered the causes of uneven tire wear, you might be wondering what actually happens during a tire rotation or alignment. Here’s an overview of what our technicians do when you bring in your vehicle for these services.
During a tire rotation, our team takes the tires off your vehicle and swaps their positions. This is done because each position puts a tire under a unique amount of stress, and by rotating the tires in a specific pattern, this stress can be evenly distributed. Tire rotations allow the tires to wear down evenly, helping you save money by avoiding blowouts and breakdowns.
When you visit us for an alignment, our technicians will adjust your car’s suspension, the system which connects the car’s frame and the wheels and provides the vehicle’s ability to maneuver over bumps and holes in the road. By aligning the suspension, the technicians ensure that the tires meet the pavement at the proper angle to wear down evenly.
If your tires look like they’re wearing down unevenly, or if you’re noticing other signs that you need a tire rotation or alignment (such as the vehicle pulling to one side or a vibrating steering wheel), make a service appointment on our website today. Our team can diagnose your vehicle’s issues, perform the necessary services, and even install a new set of tires if you need them. If you’re looking for a special set, such as high-performance tires or snow tires, you can order new tires online and have us install them. If you have any other questions about tires, alignment, or any other service topics, don’t hesitate to ask our expert team!

Before hitting the road for your summer adventures, it’s crucial to ensure your vehicle is in top shape. Here are some essential tips to prepare your car for summer travel.
Knowing how to check brake fluid can prevent issues while driving. Locate the brake fluid reservoir, usually found under the hood near the back of the engine bay. Open the reservoir cap and check the fluid level. If it’s low, top it off with the recommended type of brake fluid. Remember, Mercedes-Benz of Cincinnati offers comprehensive brake services to ensure your braking system is in excellent condition.
Ensure your tires are properly inflated and have adequate tread depth. Underinflated or worn-out tires can lead to poor fuel efficiency and increase the risk of a blowout. Rotate your tires if necessary and consider replacing them if they show signs of wear.
Regular oil changes are essential for keeping your engine running smoothly. If it’s been a while since your last oil change, now is the time to do it. Use the appropriate type of oil for your Mercedes-Benz vehicle. Not sure how to do it? The experts at Mercedes-Benz of Cincinnati can handle all your oil change needs with ease.
Summer heat can be brutal, so make sure your air conditioning system is working correctly. If you notice any issues, such as weak airflow or strange noises, it may be time for a service. Mercedes-Benz of Cincinnati provides air conditioning services to keep you cool on the road.
The last thing you want is a dead battery during your summer trip. Check the battery terminals for corrosion and ensure the battery is securely mounted. If your battery is more than three years old, consider getting it tested or replaced.
An emergency kit is a must-have for any road trip. Include items like a first-aid kit, flashlight, jumper cables, basic tools, and non-perishable snacks. Having these supplies on hand can make a significant difference in case of an unexpected situation.

If you’re considering one of the all-electric models here at Mercedes-Benz of Cincinnati, you may be wondering about the types of electric vehicle chargers compatible with Mercedes-Benz EVs. Below, we’ve answered some common questions related to plug and charger compatibility, the future of Mercedes-Benz EV charging, and more.
It’s easy to charge a Mercedes-Benz EV, thanks to the Mercedes me connect app. Accessible from your smart device, Mercedes me connect has a feature called Mercedes me Charge which shows you nearby, compatible charging stations. The app also helps you connect digitally to each station and pay for charging with your pre-loaded payment information. Mercedes-Benz EVs are compatible with over 60,000 stations on some of the nation’s largest networks, including Electrify America®, EVgo®, and ChargePoint®. When you buy an EV here at Mercedes-Benz of Cincinnati, we’ll help you get set up with Mercedes me Charge before you head home in your new vehicle.
Charging at Electrify America® stations, and all other compatible chargers, is easy. First, either use Mercedes me Charge or the MBUX navigation system in your vehicle to locate a charging station, then drive there. If you choose an Electrify America® station, you can simply plug in and start charging once you arrive, thanks to the Plug & Charge program that’s available at Electrify America® stations for select models. At other stations, you will have to scan your RFID card before plugging in. Once your EV has reached the level of charge you want, simply unplug and be on your way. For more information, visit our dedicated page on all things EVs.
This is a good question, as there are a few different plug and charger types. At home, you can use the Mobile Flex Charging Cable, which comes with Mercedes-Benz EV purchases, for Level 1 and Level 2 AC-voltage charging. The integrated connectors at public Level 2 chargers, known as J1772 connectors, are compatible with Mercedes-Benz EVs.
At a fast charger, you’ll use the station's integrated connector, which will be a type of charging cable and plug that can handle DC voltage. As of 2024, Mercedes-Benz EVs in North America are only compatible with Combined Charging System (CCS) Type 1 fast chargers. EVs from most major brands work with the CCS system (aside from Tesla — more on that in the next section), and networks like Electrify America®, EVgo®, and ChargePoint® use the CCS system.
As of May 2024, Mercedes-Benz vehicles are not compatible with Tesla chargers. Tesla uses a different charging system than other manufacturers: the North American Charging Standard (NACS). NACS is a hybrid system that provides both Level 2 and DC fast charging.
NACS-compatible charging cables have a differently shaped plug than those compatible with CCS, so you currently can’t even plug into a Tesla Supercharger to power up a Mercedes-Benz, much less have the system recognize the vehicle. This system has been unique to Tesla up until now, though things are set to change soon.
It was recently announced that a variety of EV manufacturers, including Mercedes-Benz, have partnered with Tesla to begin offering NACS adapters. This will allow drivers with CCS-compatible vehicles to charge at Tesla Superchargers. Mercedes-Benz NACS adapter availability will begin in 2024, though Mercedes-Benz has yet to announce an exact date. Additionally, starting in 2025, the brands partnered with Telsa will begin including NACS charging ports in their new vehicles (most likely in addition to CCS ports), according to U.S. News and World Report. Mercedes-Benz is also building over 2,500 high-powered chargers of its own throughout North America, aiming to create a top-tier charging experience for its EV owners.
If you have any further questions, we have EV experts on our team who are ready to help. Mercedes-Benz of Cincinnati is your EV headquarters here in southwest Ohio, and we look forward to welcoming you to our state-of-the-art showroom soon.

When you travel in a Mercedes-Benz, you can expect a truly remarkable experience. Whether you’re the owner of a gas-powered sedan or SUV or one of our cutting-edge electric vehicles, your journey will be comfortable and thoroughly luxurious. Planning to travel with a Mercedes-Benz electric SUV? Good choice: These innovative models have impressive range and features that will make your trip a pleasure. Before you set off, read through our guide below to learn how to prepare for an electric vehicle road trip.
When traveling in an EV, you won’t be able to count on finding a charging station around every corner (like you would with gas stations). That’s why it is crucial to understand your vehicle’s range and map out your route in advance. You can use a third-party app, like those from PlugShare and EVgo, to do this; however, when you use your Mercedes me connect app to find chargers, you can easily send directions straight to your model’s MBUX Navigation system (if equipped). Mercedes me Charge is easy to use, and if you have any questions, our team will be happy to help. You’re most likely to find DC fast chargers in larger cities along your route. Small towns may only have Level 2 chargers (which only add 10 to 20 miles of range per hour of charging) or they may have no chargers at all. Make sure to plan your stops carefully to ensure you’ll be near a charger that is compatible with your vehicle when you need it. Booking a hotel in your destination? Consumer Reports recommends finding one with EV chargers onsite so your car can charge while you sleep.
In this same vein, it’s important to ensure that your pad your itinerary with extra time to account for charging. Charging isn’t as fast as getting gas, so include charging time when determining your ETA. Wondering how long does it take to charge an electric vehicle? DC fast chargers can typically charge an EV in less than an hour. In fact, Consumer Reports writes that DC fast chargers charge about ten times faster than their Level 2 counterparts. However, since it’s harder to find fast chargers, you may need to wait for a while as your Mercedes-Benz charges at a Level 2 charger. Roadtrippers recommends coordinating charging with meal breaks or visits to attractions along your route. It’s widely recommended to charge an EV before the battery dips below 20 percent charged. Keep in mind that many electric vehicles charge fastest between 20 and 80 percent, so you might not want to spend extra time waiting for your model to reach 100 percent. Rather, stop more often to keep your battery in the 20-80 percent range (a move which can actually elongate your battery’s lifespan, according to Flo).
While there are many, many EV chargers nationwide (over 130,000!), the infrastructure is still in its early stages. Having a plan A and a plan B is a wise decision when it comes to traveling with an EV. By this, we mean that you shouldn’t plan to stop in a town with a single EV charging station when your model has a low battery, as the charger could be out of service, you could have a long wait to use it, or your model could be incompatible with the charger. If you plan to stop in an area with multiple charging stations before your battery is at a critical level, you’ll have a backup place to charge in the event of unanticipated issues. Feeling charging anxiety? Don’t worry: Your Mercedes-Benz EV will warn you far in advance regarding its charge level. You’ll have more than enough time to safely pull off the highway and navigate to the next station on your route.
Driving an EV can be truly freeing — imagine having no need to touch a dirty gas pump ever again! Whether you’re charging up here in Cincinnati or out of town, the process is simple and straighforward. With a little preparation, you can hit the road in your EV and focus on making memories. If you have any questions, the team here at Mercedes-Benz of Cincinnati is always here to help.
