Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van Service

Whether you’re a business owner in Princeton or an adventurous spirit who travels the country living the van life, maintaining the health of your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van is essential to your lifestyle. When it’s time for a Mercedes-Benz synthetic oil replacement for your Cargo, Crew, or Passenger Van, there’s one important question to ask: What type of oil does a Sprinter Van take? Learn everything you need to know about the recommended Sprinter Van oil types with Mercedes-Benz of Princeton’s service team so you can keep your Sprinter ready for wherever the Hamilton road takes you.

Recommended Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Oil Type

Your recommended Sprinter Van oil type will depend on what kind of engine is under your Sprinter Van’s hood. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van models come with two main types of engines: gas engines and diesel engines. Each works slightly differently and requires different types of oil. See the recommended Mercedes-Benz Sprinter oil types for each engine below:

  • Gas Engine: Full Synthetic 5W-40 Motor Oil
  • Diesel Engine: Full Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil

That said, the best way to ensure optimal performance of your Sprinter Van is to check your owner’s manual for the recommended oil type for your engine, as various model years, makes, and engine types may recommend different oils. If you have any questions about your specific Mercedes-Benz Sprinter oil type, contact Mercedes-Benz of Princeton, and our service professionals will help you find the right oil for your Mercer County van!

Synthetic vs. Conventional Oil: What’s the Difference?

Both types of recommended Sprinter Van oil types are full synthetic, a type of oil that is refined and crafted to promote superior engine performance and long-lasting quality. Synthetic oil differs from conventional oil, or “regular oil”, as conventional oil is closer to the crude oil drilled from the ground. Mercedes-Benz always recommends full synthetic oil for all their vehicles as synthetic oil ensures your premium engine performs as it should, as well as gives you advantages such as:

  • Lower viscosity at low temperatures
  • Enhanced engine-cleaning properties
  • More time between Mercedes-Benz synthetic motor oil replacement
  • Better protection for turbocharger parts (if equipped)
