Changing The Engine Oil And Filter; Replacing The Air Filter; Replacing The Fuel Filter; Checking The Diesel Particle Filter - Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2012 Maintenance Booklet

They are important, however, because they
allow early detection of discrepancies which
can later lead to increased exhaust
emissions. It is generally less costly to adjust
deviations of this sort immediately than to
wait until they incur high repair costs. The
maintenance intervals have been determined
so that the vehicle, under normal operating
conditions, should operate properly between
maintenance services.

Changing the engine oil and filter

Change the engine oil and oil filter at
10,000 miles. If oil consumption should
increase, determine the cause and take
necessary corrective steps. Do not reset the
service interval display if the oil level is filled
up or the oil is changed at times other than
the recommended intervals.

Replacing the air filter

Under normal dust conditions, the air filter
should be replaced during every
40,000 miles. Clean the air filter cap and
housing before removing the air filter.

Replacing the fuel filter

Replace the fuel filter every 20,000 miles.

Checking the diesel particle filter

The level of the diesel particle filter must be
checked for the first time at 100,000 miles.
If the level is still under the limit value at
100,000 miles, the level of the diesel particle
filter must be checked again at every Oil
Service Plus/Maintenance Service.
If the level of the diesel particle filter is above
the limit value, the diesel particle filter should
be replaced.

Maintenance service descriptions

After the new diesel particle filter is installed,
the cycle for checking it starts again after
100,000 miles.

Checking and refilling DEF

Check and refill the DEF every 10,000 miles
