How Often to Change Spark Plugs on a Sprinter Van

The spark plugs inside your Sprinter Van create a small spark that lights the fuel inside the combustion chamber, which moves your van forward on the roads of Irvine. Because they're an important component of your Sprinter Van, it's important that you change your spark plugs when necessary. According to the general Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van maintenance schedule, you should change your Sprinter Van’s spark plugs around every three years.

Signs You Need to Replace Your Spark Plugs

The general recommendation for how often to change spark plugs on a Sprinter Van is around three years. Some Costa Mesa drivers may have to change their spark plugs sooner. The interval can be different depending on the year and models of the Sprinter Vans, what kinds of roads they're driven on, and the driver’s specific habits.

That being said, here are some signs to watch out for that may indicate you need to change your spark plugs sooner than recommended:

• Slow or no start

• Engine misfire

• Engine is running rough

• Rough idling

• Poor acceleration

• Accelerated fuel consumption

If you notice any of these signs or others, schedule service with Fletcher Jones Van Center right away.
