Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van Oil Change Service

Why is an Oil Change Important?

Simply put, oil keeps your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter running smoothly by lubricating the many intrinsic, moving parts of your engine. When these parts are actively working together, they generate a great deal of heat caused by friction. Oil keeps the parts moving easily, but it also helps keep your engine cleaner and reduces the heat being generated. When your Sprinter has ample oil to keep everything working, you save yourself a lot of headaches and potentially high repair costs. An hour out of your day when you need an oil change is time well spent if it saves you more time and more money down the road.

How Frequently Should an Oil Change be Completed?

For most vehicles today it is recommended that an oil change should occur about every 5,000-7,500 miles, depending on the vehicle. You should check your vehicle's owner's manual for the recommended oil change frequency for your Sprinter, but if you don't have a manual, 5000 to 7500 miles is a good general rule to follow. If you have a vehicle older than the last 10-15 years, then it was recommended that an oil change should occur every 3,000 miles. For most older vehicles though, they used conventional oil, whereas today most vehicles use synthetic oil which is more effective than the old crude oil formula, providing better protection for your vehicle.

It may be necessary to get an oil change more frequently depending on your work patterns and on your climate. High heat and extreme cold can make your engine work harder and that means the many moving parts move more rapidly just generating more heat and friction. How far you drive your Sprinter and how often you use it for work or other activities will also add additional stress on the engine, so check your owner's manual for manufacturer recommendations.
