Engine Oil Replacement Instructions

Model: Mercedes Sprinter MK 1, W901 - Years 1995-2006
Part: Engine oil

Once you have raised the vehicle using a lift or suitable ramps, it is very simple to locate the drain plug of the oil sump, which is situated at the rear right corner of the sump. Unscrew the plug to allow the old oil to drain out, and once the draining is complete, screw the plug back in. Then access the engine bay to refill the engine with new oil (check the SAE specifications and quantities in the owner's manual) ensuring you accurately respect the level without exceeding the maximum.
