Your Sprinter Van works hard every day to help you run deliveries around Irvine and travel to clients around Newport Beach — the last thing you need is for your van to be out of commission for extensive services. That’s why Mercedes-Benz Sprinter fluid services are such an important part of preventative maintenance. Routine fluid service helps keep critical systems running smoothly in your Sprinter, so you can travel all over Orange County safely and efficiently. Below, the Fletcher Jones Van Center explains what’s included in Sprinter fluid services as well as how often they’re needed.
What’s Included in Sprinter Fluid Services?
When we refer to Sprinter fluid services, what does that mean, exactly? Fluid service is often referred to as a “fluid flush.” What’s a fluid flush? Well, the more miles you put on your Sprinter Van in Huntington Beach, the more dirt and contaminants can pollute essential fluids like synthetic motor oil and brake fluid. Occasionally, the dirty fluid needs to be flushed out and replaced to keep your van moving in Corona Del Mar.
Here are the various types of fluids that may be flushed out and exchanged during Sprinter fluid service:
- Brake fluid
- Transmission fluid
- Synthetic motor oil
- Power steering fluid
- Radiator fluid
- Diesel exhaust fluid
When Do I Need Sprinter Fluid Services?
The intervals for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter fluid services depend on the fluid in question. For example, brake fluid and synthetic motor oil are replaced more often than other fluids.
If you follow the Mercedes-Benz Service A* and Service B* schedules, you can feel confident that your Sprinter Van is getting the fluid services it needs to keep moving in Laguna Beach.
Sprinter Van Service A** (Every 10,000 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first)
- Diesel Exhaust Fluid Replacement
- Mercedes-Benz Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement***
- Fluid level inspections and corrections per factory-suggested service intervals for your Sprinter Van’s model and year
- Oil Filter Replacement***
- Brake Component Inspection
- Tire Inflation Inspection and Correction
- Maintenance Minder Reset
Service B** follows Service A and is required every 2 years or 20,000 miles, whichever comes first. Your Sprinter Van will receive the same services, in addition to brake fluid exchange. While the diesel exhaust fluid, synthetic motor oil, and brake fluid are worked into Service A and Service B schedules, the other fluids—transmission, power steering, and radiator fluid—are monitored and flushed only when necessary.
