Hello to all. It's been a very long time since my last visit. The hurricanes and all of the problems that come with it has had me very busy. Since my last visit I have purchased a 2005 Sprinter van with a 2.7 diesel made by Mercedes. It's a great van! I'm having a problem understanding the oil type and change interval issues that some seem to have with this engine. It has an on-board computer that says to chnge the oil at 10,000 miles (9.5 quarts). MB says that only europeon Mobile 1 or Delvac Mobile with a 228.3 or 229.5 rating (I think) should be used. The dealer wants $201.00 per oil/filter change, that's exhorbant! I want to do the changes myself (I think), but am concerned about possibly voiding the warranty if I do (according to my local dealer). Does anyone here own a Sprinter van? What should I do/use? Is the computers interval the safest interval or should I do something else? Help, please!
