Mercedes-Benz recommends changing your 2016 Sprinter 3500’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Sprinter 3500 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 car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Mercedes-Benz if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2016 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 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? 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 professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz exhaust smoke gray or blue? 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 the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500? 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? Your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my Sprinter 3500's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 every time you change the oil.
