Service products are tested for suitabili-
ty in our assemblies. Approved service
products meet the highest quality stan-
dards and are listed in the
Mercedes-
Benz Specifications for Service Pro-
ducts
. For this reason, only use service
products that have been approved for
your vehicle. This is an important condi-
tion for warranty claims to be upheld. In-formation about approved service
products is available from all authorized
Sprinter Dealers.
You will find details about windshield
washer fluid in the “Operation” section
(

page 333).
It is neither necessary nor permissible to
mix special additives with approved ser-
vice products (except for approved fuel
additives). Therefore, special additives
must not be mixed with fuels or lubri-
cants. 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 limitation or an invalidation of your
warranty entitlement.

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.
