All About 2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Drivetrain Service

Your Sprinter 2500 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles.

Care for your 2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
