Fresh transmission fluid and a new filter are the single best way to protect your Sprinter 7G-Tronic or 9G-Tronic. Old fluid loses its ability to shift cleanly and cool the internals. We drain, drop the pan, replace the filter and pan gasket, and refill to the exact level with the correct MB spec fluid.
What this service includes
- Drain the fluid and remove the pan to access the filter

- Set the level to temperature and confirm shift quality
Signs your Sprinter needs it

Frequently asked questions
How often should Sprinter transmission fluid be changed?
Many Sprinter automatics do best with fluid every 40,000 to 60,000 miles, sooner for heavy loads or towing. Riverside heat and traffic push most vans toward the shorter end of that range.
Is the transmission fluid really lifetime fill?
The lifetime label is optimistic. Fluid breaks down with heat, and skipping it leads to hard shifts and wear. A periodic change is inexpensive insurance for an expensive gearbox.
