Oil Change Q&A for Your 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500

  • What can low oil do to my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might 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 with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. 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 worn cylinder walls.
  • Who does Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What does it mean if my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 oil light comes on? 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? You should replace your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
