Mercedes-Benz recommends changing your 2012 Sprinter 2500’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Sprinter 2500 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Mercedes-Benz recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500.

2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Sprinter 2500’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Does my Sprinter 2500's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
