and/or anticorrosion/antifreeze products
other than those approved for your vehicle
are being used. You can find coolant
instructions under the "Coolant" section of
the vehicle Operator's Manual. Contact an
authorized Sprinter Dealer for a list of anti-
corrosion/antifreeze products that are
approved for your vehicle. Wear parts
The maintenance computer recommends the
inspection of certain wear parts, however, it
cannot judge the condition of these wear
parts. Only qualified aftersales technicians
can determine if a wear part should be
replaced. Regular checks
In addition to the maintenance service, you
should also perform regular checks on the
following (e.g. weekly, when refueling, or
before any long journey):
R Oil level –Depending on the vehicle equip-
ment, check the oil level of the engine using
either the oil dipstick or using the control
system via the multifunction steering
wheel/multifunction display. Refer to the
Operator's Manual for more information on
measuring the engine oil level.
R Coolant level – The correct procedure for
checking the coolant level is described in
the Operator's Manual.
R Brake fluid level –If the brake fluid has to
be refilled, visit an authorized Sprinter
Dealer and have the cause determined, e.g.
leakage or worn brake pads.
R Windshield washer system – If the
washer fluid level falls below 1/3 full, the
warning lamp for the washer fluid level
lights up. Add washer fluid mixed with an
approved windshield washer concentrate,
test function and check wiper blades. R
Lighting system
R Tire condition and tire pressure –Check
at least once a month. Refer to the "Tires
and Wheels" section in the Operator's Man-
ual for guidelines and the correct proce-
dure for checking the tire condition and tire
pressure. Notes on the warranty

Only use DEF according to ISO 22241. Do
not add special additives to DEF or dilute it
with water. This can damage the BlueEFFI-
CIENCY ®
exhaust gas aftertreatment. Description of maintenance work for
the exhaust system
The composition of exhaust emissions is
influenced not only by the exhaust gas after-
treatment system, but also by various engine
parts and their settings.
Maintenance of the exhaust system must
therefore include these engine parts. Some
maintenance jobs are actually only tests.
They are important, however, because they
allow early detection of discrepancies which
can later lead to increased exhaust emis-
sions. It is generally less costly to adjust devi-
ations of this sort immediately than to wait
until they incur high repair costs. The main-
tenance intervals have been determined so
that the vehicle, under normal operating con-
ditions, should operate properly between
maintenance services. Changing the engine oil and filter
Change the engine oil and oil filter every
15,000 miles. If oil consumption should
increase, determine the cause and take nec-
essary 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
In normal dust conditions, replace the air fil-
ter every 45,000 miles. Clean the air filter cap
and housing before removing the air filter. Replacing the fuel filter
Replace the fuel filter every 30,000 miles Checking the diesel particle filter
The saturation level of the diesel particle filter
must first be checked at 90,000 miles.
If the saturation level is still below the thresh-
old value at 90,000 miles, the saturation level
of the diesel particle filter must be checked
again at each subsequent 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.
Once the new diesel particle filter has been
installed, the checking cycle starts again after
90,000 miles. Checking and adding DEF
Check and add DEF every 15,000 miles. Maintenance service
Vehicle maintenance work (including
exhaust system maintenance)
i The maintenance services should be car-
ried out at the specified mileage or after the
specified number of years (whichever
comes first).
