Service products and capacities

\3 Service products and capacitiesService products are:
\4fuels
\4lubricants (e.g. engine oils, transmis-
sion oils, hydraulic fluids, greases)
\4antifreeze additives, coolant
\4brake fluid
Service products are tested for suitability
in our assemblies. Approved service prod-
ucts meet the highest quality standards.
For this reason, only use service products
that have been approved for your vehicle.
This is an important condition for warranty
claims to be upheld. Information about ap-
proved service products is available from
all authorized Sprinter Dealers.
You will find details about windshield
washer fluid in the “Operation” section
(\2page 193).
It is neither necessary nor permissible to
mix special additives with approved ser-
vice products (except for approved fuel ad-
ditives). Therefore, special additives must
not be mixed with fuels or lubricants. The properties of the service products could be
adversely affected by special additives and
result in damage to the assemblies.
The vehicle operator is responsible at all
times for any use of special additives. The
use of special additives may result in a lim-
itation or an invalidation of your warranty
entitlement.
Warning
G
Failure to use fluids and lubricants which
meet the standards and specifications de-
scribed in this booklet or failure to adhere to
the specified replacement intervals may re-
sult in damage to safety/ and/or emissions-
related systems of your vehicle, such as the
brake system, which could cause an acci-
dent and/or serious injury to you and oth-
ers.
Use only fluids and lubricants meeting the
standards and specifications and adhere to
specified replacement intervals.
!
CAUTION
Damage caused by the use of non-ap-
proved service products is not covered
by the Sprinter warranty.
Warning
G
Service products constitute a health hazard.
They contain toxic and highly corrosive con-
stituents.
For this reason, bear the following points in
mind to avoid injury to yourself and others:
\4Do not inhale fumes. Make sure that en-
closed spaces are adequately ventilated
to prevent poisoning.
\4Service products must not come into
contact with the skin, eyes or clothing. If
contact is made with a service product,
clean the affected areas of skin with wa-
ter and soap to prevent burns and other
injuries.

BrakesUse brake fluid approved for DaimlerChrysler standard MB 331.0 and/or DaimlerChrysler material standard MS-9971, brake fluid certified
to DOT 4 Plus standards, that also maintains a minimum dry boiling point (ERBP) of 500 °F (260°C), a minimum wet boiling point (WERBP)
of 356 °F (180 °C) and a maximum viscosity of 1500 mm
2/s, conforming to FMVSS 116 and ISO 4925.

2 Over the course of a brake fluid’s service life, its boiling point falls due to the continuous absorption of moisture from the atmosphere. If the boiling point of the
brake fluid is too low, vapor pockets may form in the brake system when the brakes are applied hard (e.g. when driving on long downhill stretches). This has a det-
rimental effect on braking efficiency, which could increase the stopping distance. This increases the risk of an accident. Have the brake fluid renewed every 2 years.
