Frequently Asked Questions

Why is an oil change important for a 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter?

• Protects the turbocharged diesel engine by keeping oil viscosity and detergency within manufacturer specifications to reduce wear on pistons, bearings, turbocharger and injectors.
• Maintains fuel economy and torque delivery by preventing soot buildup and sludge that can impede oil flow in modern diesel engines.
• Helps preserve emissions control components such as the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and exhaust after-treatment by using clean, compatible oil.
• Extends engine life and supports consistent towing capability and cargo performance for commercial or passenger use.
• Retains resale value and provides documented maintenance history when performed at a certified dealership using OEM fluids and filters.

• For many diesel Sprinter owners, intervals commonly fall in the 10,000–15,000 mile range or roughly annually under normal use; severe duty, heavy towing, or frequent short trips can require more frequent service.
• Regular visits to a certified dealership ensure oil change intervals are set to the manufacturer’s recommendations and that any service reminders are addressed promptly.
