CAUTION
Diesel engine:
Never use any amount of engine oil
for the diesel engine that does not
conform to MB 228.51, 229.31
or 229.51 specifications. Otherwise
the diesel particle filter (DPF) could
be damaged.
If the above specified engine oils are
not available, you may also use engi-
ne oils conforming to MB 228.5,
229.3 and 229.5 specifications. You
should add no more than 1 qt (1 l) of
these engine oils, however.

Fuel requirementsOnly use premium unleaded fuel:\4
The octane number (posted at the
pump) must be 91 min. It is an aver-
age of both the Research (R) octane
number and the Motor (M) octane
number: (R+M) / 2). This is also
known as the ANTI-KNOCK INDEX.
Unleaded gasoline containing oxygen-
ates such as ethanol, IPA, IBA and TBA
can be used provided the ratio of any
one of these oxygenates to gasoline
does not exceed 10%; MTBE not to
exceed 15%.The ratio of methanol to gasoline must
not exceed 3% plus additional cosol-
vents.
Using mixtures of ethanol and methanol
is not allowed. Gasohol, which contains
10% ethanol and 90% unleaded gasoline,
can be used.
These blends must also meet all other
fuel requirements, such as resistance to
spark knock, boiling range, vapor pres-
sure, etc. Do not exceed an engine speed
of 3000 rpm if the vehicle is loaded
with a light load, such as two persons
and no cargo.
Do not exceed
2/3 of maximum ac-
celerator pedal position if the vehicle
is fully loaded or operating in moun-
tainous terrain.

Fuels for diesel engines Fuel requirements
Only use commercially available vehicu-
lar ULTRA-LOW SULFUR HIGHWAY DIE-
SEL FUEL (15 ppm SULFUR MAXIMUM).
Chrysler Vans LLC USA now approves
the use of B5 bio diesel (standard diesel
with a maximum of up to 5% Bio diesel
content) in the Sprinter vehicle CRD die-
sel engine.
Information on diesel quality can
normally be found on the fuel pump.
!
CAUTION
The following may lead to increased
wear or engine damage:
\4
Using gasoline that does not
meet the specifications men-
tioned above
\4
The use of non-approved special
additives
!
CAUTION
Marine diesel fuel, Bio diesel fuel,
heating oil or the like must not be
used.
Do not blend diesel fuel with marine
diesel fuel, Bio diesel fuel or heating
oil. The use of such non-approved fu-
els or blending diesel fuel may result
in malfunction or cause engine dam-
age. Damage or malfunctions result-
ing from poor fuel quality or from
blending specific fuel additives are
not covered by the Sprinter warranty.

BrakesUse brake fluid approved for Chrysler Vans LLC standard MB 331.0 and/or Chrysler Vans LLC 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 detrimental 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.

1 Whenever the coolant is replaced, a concentration of 50% by volume of corrosion inhibitor/antifreeze should be maintained. This provides antifreeze pro-
tection down to -34,6 °F (-37 °C). Do not exceed a concentration of 55% by volume (antifreeze protection down to approximately -49 °F (-45 °C)), as the
heat dissipation properties deteriorate at higher concentrations. Observe the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service Products, Sheet 325.
