Why check the motor oil level in my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Sprinter 3500’s 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 oil on my own?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d 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.
