Frequently asked questions
What oil does a Mercedes Sprinter take?
Sprinter diesels require MB 229.52 rated low ash full synthetic oil. Using the wrong grade shortens DPF life and can trip emissions faults, so we only fill with the approved specification.
How often should a Sprinter oil change be done?
Most Sprinter vans call for service every 10,000 miles or 12 months. Fleet vans and heavy stop and go routes around Riverside often do better on a tighter interval.
