I just found this video, 20 min after I made the same mistake with the gasket, and sprayed 2 liters of oil all over the place. Thanks for leaving that in it makes me feel just a little bit better. Lol

[@darryljohnston1284]

Good video .Showing your O ring mistake and oil squirting into engine bay was also a very important lesson thank you Darryl from Australia

[@andrewthomas2540]

Great video! Thanks from all MB Sprinter owners north of the 49’th.

[@emilliozapatta6108]

I used to love doing all my own mechanicals. No more. I have a 2014 with 4 cyl engine. Love it Keeping my van very light

[@MathersOnTheMap]

That’s good! I weighed our van this weekend and we’re just under the GVWR 🙏🏻 I was stoked! Haha

[@goodworld8688]

Nice video. Thank you 👍

[@Scrambler85]

Expensive oil change 👍

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Roger that so much oil!

[@seanvo7130]

Tks so much!!! You saved me a lot of money. Please keep them coming

[@ionutsoponar8308]

Bonjour . Un grand merci pour cette vidéo qui est très bien réalisé et super bien expliqué… Thank you…! 😊

[@wellnessotr]

Good tips for buying extra things…I do that, too.

[@LZ100-s4y]

Kiitos videosta. Se oli hyvin tehty. Mutta 2 kohtaa voisi tarkentaa. Kerroit ne niin vauhdilla, etten pysynyt mukana. !. Sen suodattimen isoin tiivisterengas ja sen tarkka paikka. Kiva että kerroit että vuotaa jos väärin. Käytännössä se o renkaan paikka on oudon näköisessä paikassa. Ja kun vielä suodatinta kiristäessä se kuin hankaa. Eli se jää ikään kuin alemma mitä olettaisi. 2. Näytit vähän epäselvästi sen koodauksen kun öljy on vaihdettu. Muuten teit monta asiaa paremmin mitä muut. Hienoa Kiitos. From, Ode

WELL DONE👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤗🤗🤗 wow, you're better as i thought you ate. Not bad and i'm from Mercedes land . . . but prefer BMW 😉😇 ... just have no Van yet. Nice Vid.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Haha thank you appreciate it!!!

[@wellnessotr]

I take pictures, first. That way it’s easier not to mess up. 👌🏽

[@rbboser]

thanks for this video. You are very courageous for doing this yourself and you did a nice job! You've convinced me to take our 2017 Sprinter to the dealer for our maintenance, however. I don't feel comfortable taking everything apart like you had to do. thanks again.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

You got it! I wish the computer system wasn’t so sophisticated in the vehicle it would make repairs and maintenance a lot easier!

[@Millenniumfalconsprinter]

Thank you 🙏

Thank you for watching!!!

[@sherbitdab4767]

I have the same problem with oil filter leaking everywhere how far down do you put the o ring 3 threads down ?

[@KeithFolske]

Can you post the link to the web page that shows approved oil for Mercedes vans? I have been having a difficult time finding any sort of maintenance documentation from Mercedes. They seem to be trying to make it difficult to do it yourself. :)

[@GlennInLaguna]

9:05 what the pros use...Knipex Tools 85 51 180 C

[@izzatshmeissem384]

Thank you you taught me everything I want to know

[@pr4lviper]

I have a 2021 mercedes sprinter 2500 with the same engine. But no come with the dipstick. The dipstick in your truck fix in the 2019-22’ gen?

[@bsshotblastingpowdercoatin8018]

I got 2001 311 2.2 it got 210k what best oil for it thanks

[@ZampostOk]

When you going to do a delete?

[@n2cycles]

The missed oil filter oring can be a costly mistake. Gladly you caught it. I've seen experienced mechanics make that mistake. It's good to do your own work when you can. It get you familiar with your vehicle and let's you look for other potential issues while you are at it. One of the biggest problems with the European imports is cost of general maintenance. Most people prefer to pay for it rather than do it themselves. One tip that applies to any vehicle is to keep an eye for mice that love to build nests under the plastic cowling. I'd love to hear how the power is on the 4 cylinder. I see you are getting excellent mileage.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

yeppers, could have been really bad!!! 4 cyclinder is great on MPG we haven't had any issues and the turbo is able to keep us moving along, sometimes the pedal is to the metal on steep inclines but we're almost at max GVWR so

[@mhelander]

Pretty laborious... Prize to pay for nice covered engine. Easy oil drain tho. What's the interval for diesel fuel filter/separator?

[@MathersOnTheMap]

I believe every 20,000 miles but don’t quote me!

[@tamnguyenfamilychannel8711]

Hi Kevin, I saw you changed out the NOS senor on one of your video. I just wonder have you file for Approved Emission Modifications ("AEMs") from Mercedes? I filed my sprinter and they repaired changed out the nos sensor and got a check for the settlement,

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Hey! how is the van running after you got this change made? we have yet to get a check or do the upgrade.

[@tamnguyenfamilychannel8711]

@@MathersOnTheMap it's running good.

[@khaledali3727]

please tell me for Movable filter cover

[@matthiasbunzel964]

Fuel Filter change only at Service B !

[@omarenriquez3043]

Does this oil meet mb requirements ? 229.31 , 229.51 or 228.51 ?

[@MathersOnTheMap]

229.51 👍🏻

[@Truthh4040]

What’s is the size of the filter cap - or that fixed socket head pls ?

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Here’s what the one I have ( I put everything in the description.... Oil Filter Wrench (74mm, 14 Flutes): amzn.to/33NharB )

[@Truthh4040]

@@MathersOnTheMap thank you so much

[@kailu07]

Your Sprinter is 2019 model or earlier?

[@MathersOnTheMap]

2015 👌🏻

[@visionlightlab6094]

I wanted a Sprinter until I watched this procedure on another channel. My Chev 6.2 diesel van has a firewall mounted marine type Racor Fuel filter/water separator that is fully accessible without removing ANYTHING . Unscrew lid by it's T handle, pull out filter, loosen lower drain vent to vent accumulated water, put in new filter, replace small T handle & lid gaskets included with filter & Presto! done. Sorry Benz.... Thank you for you video though!

[@snakegriffin4928]

You didn’t have to depressurization the fuel lines by removing the fuel pump fuse? I’m curious cause I don’t want diesel spraying everywhere

[@andywritz]

When you take the o rings off don't use a screw driver you'll damage the surface. Just pinch them, then hook it off..

[@oscarcanelo6262]

Just like all the filters, made in Germany.

[@mont5584]

Oil filter not the fuel filter. LOL!

[@Indigal]

That's a lot of work😬

[@oscarcanelo6262]

Hell no! For all my diesel cars,Touareg TDI, Cayenne diesel and my Airstream Interstate, 3.0 V6 diesel one kind of oil ! Liquid Moly , the only one,Period!!

[@jwlindem1]

Holy Shit, way too many clips for a fuel filter.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Haha yes it is!

[@alphasixfive1658]

only ze Germans could design a stupid ass oil filter with 3 gaskets

[@Chad-wk2pm]

Never buy a def vehicle
