Oil Change and Resetting Computer on 2007-2019 Mercedes Sprinter 2500-3500 Diesel Engine

[@pyootchnich]

traveling in northeast US and no Mercedes dealerships can get me in for my first service for two weeks. now I know how to do it myself. thanks man! great "just the facts" video!

[@mercedessprinterdiy8556]

Awesome buddy I'm glad I helped you a lot thank you for watching and drive safe

[@Cheepchipsable]

A "service" is more than changing the oil.

[@samfromvalleycenter4848]

Not only saving the money, but doing it yourself is far better than the mechanic does it for you !

[@mercedessprinterdiy8556]

Yes no appointment needed is the best too👍

[@evanaube7946]

Not always, mechanics can diagnose and find issues that you would never know about without having the car in the air, such as ball joints, tierods, bearings etc, we'll it's cheaper to do it yourself I always recommend friends and family to bring it to a shop with the knowledge to work on and fix theyre car for maximum assurance that it's done right

[@grabbingkitties7824]

When you do it yourself, you can check everything.Else underneath to make sure nothing else is messed up.And what I do is undercoat my vehicle every time as well with wool wax. To prevent rust from starting

I was almost the first responder; missed it by two! Great job Mercedes! Why can't all engines manufacturers make it this easy to replace an oil filter!

[@mercedessprinterdiy8556]

Right very easy instead of placing it on the bottom of the engine , I remember when I had a Ford and removing the oil filter Hot oil fell on my body sometimes, and so definitely having the oil filter on top less messy

[@SeanChuma]

I just read all the comments and it seems that people were much more positive and courteous as you go back in time. They became more critical and negative as you approach the present time. Just an observation. Thanks for the video.

[@FBall-im8ui]

just subscribed to your channel, your explanations are clear and your camera work is steady and precise, well done ,just a note on oil, esp if for the vehicles that are running the DEF systems i believe, I saw one fellow using Mobile 1 diesel truck oil for 500k miles and no issues, I disconnected the DEF system because it was costing way too much for repairs first 2 were $1500 each, def heater and nox sensors so out it came, now I get much better fuel economy and horse power went up to 244. 2014 2500 170 converted now just reached 300,000km, which is 180,000 miles, so did all my fluid changes and filter changes, added Sumo springs, shocks, struts, winter tyres, still to do, add a Hellwig sway bar, change windshield. paint the rocker panels, plastic trim, and bonnet with a bully paint bed liner black, its like a raptor paint but water based made in Australia, water base make sit easy for clean up and touch ups if needed.

[@marcoslizete]

Thank you for the video. It is normal for diesel engines to have black oil due to combustion. Just make sure the oil and filter are replaced timely. When I change the engine oil on my 2015 Sprinter, they get black very quickly.

[@mercedessprinterdiy8556]

yes i always change it each oil change👍

[@bigpapaporsche1]

I just changed my Oil today with 10,000 miles on it, MB recommends 20,000 miles. I am little concerned about this interval, especially because of my application which is Light Duty, its my Daily Driver, maybe 20 miles per day. This is my second LOF and I wanted to do it early and have the Oil Evaluated at a Lab to see how the Oil is holding up in my application, We will see. BTW, Caterpillar sells an Oil Test Kit for $20.00, which includes a Sample Bottle/Postage to the Lab/E mailed Report. When I get the Report back, I'll be able to make an informed decision on the Mileage Interval!

hello pat i always change my oil at 12000 because 20k i think is to long that's my recommendation , thanks for watching.

Hi had you heard something about that, I get a 2008 dodge sprinter 2500, I’m getting the code 2641-008 B60 (Exhaust back pressure sensor ) plausibility error, I just change the sensor and still the code it’s coming back right away it’s cleared, I Check the three wires plug connector, looks ok 5v, solid ground, good continuity signal wire to the Pcm, I put some extra ground from the battery to the frame and motor, Pcm case and nothing, i tested both sensors in another car and works good, the livedata is showing always 5000 hpa or 72.3 psi i think it’s a default value.

Even though you just change the oil, your indicator showed 10.2 quarts of oil in there. Why is that since you put in 12 quarts? My dipstick did not show oil so I guess I need to run the engine a little longer?

[@mercedessprinterdiy8556]

Most likely

[@NibrocNod]

When a dipstick "doesnt" show oil, that is NOT the time to keep running the engine. That means it's extremely low on oil. Add some oil instead. Wait a few minutes for the oil to settle into the oil pan then check the dipstick again.

[@rvboondocker2559]

[@firpofutbol]

I forgot to change the oil filter while the oil tank was empty. Can I change the oil filter after I put the new oil in and ran the engine?

Yes you can that is not a problem at all, just measure the oil after you install the new filter because you may need to add just a little of oil more 👍and you are set, no worries that happens to the best pf us😉👍

Great video- been doing my own service for awhile now on 2008 (No DEF) but for some reason on my last service (B) I can not get the service interval to reset- always seems to take a few trys but this time it just wont beep after holding (O) button well over 30 seconds and no beep. Any suggestions? I cant seem to find anyone having this same problem.

That's very weird It looks like you have a problem with that button And I never heard nobody with a problem like that either sorry that I couldn't help

[@dennisstacklin2831]

it very weird I've scoured the internet. I think button is working because it will reset the trip meter. I'm getting a particulate filter warning "soot level to high" and I'm dealing with that issue now - but could this be preventing a service "B" service interval reset?

[@frankdumlao32]

Can you speak on using a 12 volt oil pump to remove and change oil on the 3.0 Sprinter?

[@mercedessprinterdiy8556]

I haven't used one on sprinters the reason is because you can never remove 100% of the oil is not the best way to change the oil

[@frankdumlao32]

Do you know how much oil is left? I have a bad back and I am trying to change oil without too much bending...I had the Mercedes Service do my oil service and they over filled it by 2.5 quarts. I used a syringe device to remove the 2,5 quarts. Maybe someone can chime in on my question. Thanks.

@MercedesSprinterDIY, really appreciate your videos. Super clear. Question: When I plugged in 2016 Sprinter 3500 3.0 on the Mobil site is it recommending "your vehicle manufacturer recommends a 0W-30 or 0W-40 viscosity and oil that meets MB-Approval 228.51, MB-Approval 229.31, MB-Approval 229.51 or MB-Approval 229.52." But my local Mercedes parts person says, ESP 5W-30 (which is what you are using in video). Do you know if ESP 0W-30 is just as acceptable as ESP 5W-30? Grandpa Ron here says either: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqHKhpWBmtekrM0

ESP 5W-30 is what the dealer recommends here is the link if you want to see the specs is what i always use by Mercedes specs

2019 Mercedes Benz 3500 has no dipstick and keyless ignition so entirely different

[@mercedessprinterdiy8556]

Wow sorry to hear that they are making things more complicated

[@williamgoderwis8995]

Not a fuel filter

[@mercedessprinterdiy8556]

my bad i made a mistake wen i called it😂😂👍👍

[@mr22guy]

This tutorial needs improvement. >Remove the filter first, to release more used oil to the bottom. >ALWAYS replace the washer on the drain bolt or it will leak. >Always use a torque wrench on the drain bolt (unless you're experienced enough)

[@mercedessprinterdiy8556]

Thank you for your great observation👍👍

[@ffsteel111]

What is the drain bolt Torque ?

15k is way to many miles between oil changes imo, don't care what is says on the bottle.. :)

[@mercedessprinterdiy8556]

On a side note, you are devaluing the vehicle by not having it serviced at a qualified mechanics, since the log books won't be filled in and there will be no record of it's regular service, plus any incidental checks, such as brakes, bushings and transmission leaks that may happen without your knowledge can lead to greater damage if not caught before a catastrophic failure. Not so much an issue on a second hand vehicle, but on a new vehicle you really want to think about devaluation and resale value. Just something to consider.

[@mercedessprinterdiy8556]

great point and i do my self inspection beneath my van and i had many vans and never had a problem selling them because i did not have a record👍

[@jamesdrogers]

I sold a 2017 4x4 on ebay, and the lack of a $2000+ oil change stamp by a mb dealer had no bearing on my sale price. A lucid explanation along with my own documentation worked fine.

[@jodhanbeshaan5535]

You should have shown the oil level on the dip stick👎🏿

[@mercedessprinterdiy8556]

very true it was a fast video

[@alphasixfive1658]

WRONG !
