The sprinter Oil change is at 10k miles per change.
It is cheap to do your self and really easy. cost less my own labor
for air filter, Oil and filter (synthetic) and fuel filter is about
80 to 100 bones Every 10k that is.
But I still camp in my 85 westy with a zetec that does not get as
good of miles as my 03 sprinter. My sprinter gets 21.8 miles all the
time and my 85 with zetec is about 19 or so. Go figure.
