What is the maintenance schedule for the 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD?

Here’s Why 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD Scheduled Maintenance Matters

You want your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Sprinter 3500XD. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Sprinter 3500XD, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD!

Mercedes-Benz knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Sprinter 3500XD running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
