Purchasing a new Mercedes Sprinter van is such an exciting step!

But if you do want to try your hand at an oil change, here are some tips on changing the oil in your Mercedes-Benz yourself: DIY MERCEDES OIL CHANGES Stick with manufacturer recommended oil. Yes, you can switch this up, but we recommend staying with a fully synthetic brand. Mercedes-Benz recommends Mobil1 European Car 0W-40 Full Synthetic oil. The mileage for factory recommended oil changes has increased – but it's because of the filter. If you want to maintain a 10,000 mi. oil change interval schedule, you must buy a Man Fleece filter.
