SPECIAL MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTSIf bodies built by manufacturers other than
DaimlerChrysler Corporation are fitted to the vehicle, the
maintenance requirements and lubrication intervals
specified by the body manufacturer must be adhered to,
in addition to all standard maintenance requirements.Brake FluidOnly use brake fluids approved by the manufacturer
(DOT 4 plus). Information about brake fluids is
available from your Sprinter Dealer.CoolantHave the corrosion inhibitor/antifreeze concentration
in the coolant checked before the onset of winter (once
a year in countries with h igh prevailing temperatures).
Have the coolant renewed every five years or 100,000
miles.Dust Filter for Heating/Ventilation ReplacementThe dust filter and the tailgate interior filter are
renewed during routine maintenance service.
However, if operating conditions are dusty, these
filters should be renewed more frequently.
ENGINE OIL CHANGE AND FILTER
REPLACEMENTIn a minimum, change the engine oil and oil filter once
a year - even if the vehicle mileage per year is extremly
low. For standard oil service schedules, please see the
chapter oil service and maintenance service.Once a YearSelect the viscosity of the engine oil (SAE classes)

If the fuel used has a sulphur content exceeding 0.05 %
by weight, the service interval s should be split in half.
If the sulphur content of the fuel used is between 0.3%
and 0.8% by weight, the service intervals should be
split in half (i.e. every 5,000 miles instead of every
10,000 miles).
