Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van Diesel Exhaust Fluid Replacement

What is DEF Level Service?

Many modern diesel-powered vehicles like diesel Sprinter Vans are engineered with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology. This technology uses DEF to reduce Nitrogen Oxide (NO_x) and Particulate Matter (PM) exhaust emissions from diesel engines.  A compound that is nearly 70% water and about 30% urea, DEF produces a chemical reaction in the catalytic converter that turns the NO_x into water and nitrogen to reduce NO_x and PM emissions and as a bonus, slightly improve fuel economy.

Checking DEF Level

Your owner's manual provides the most comprehensive plans and operation directions for your Sprinter, including instructions on how to check DEF levels. Most modern diesel engines allow a person to check DEF levels by accessing your dashboard panel. You may get a warning light on the dashboard that will indicate DEF levels if they are low.

How Often Do I Need Service for my DEF?

The type of vehicle, driving patterns, vehicle load, distance, and idling times all impact on the frequency in which DEF services should be rendered. Best practice dictates that you should check your Sprinter's owner's manual for recommendation from Mercedes-Benz about your Sprinter Van maintenance and this and any other maintenance services that will extend the life of your Sprinter Van.
