2011 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500? The oil change light in your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my Sprinter 3500's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 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.
