Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Service A

Your van goes through a lot in a typical day around Kettering, and from time to time, it can use a little TLC. Mercedes-Benz Sprinter service is divided into two alternating intervals: Sprinter Service A* and Sprinter Service B*. In this guide, Mercedes-Benz of Centerville walks you through the basic services that you can expect during your next Sprinter Service A appointment in Centerville!

What Is Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Service A?

Sprinter Service A is the first routine service you’ll schedule, and it usually occurs after one year or 10,000 miles on the Springboro roads. This visit will include all of the manufacturer-recommended services, which include:

• Diesel Exhaust Fluid Replacement
• Mercedes-Benz Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement**
• Fluid level inspections and corrections per factory-suggested service intervals for your Sprinter Van’s model and year
• Oil Filter Replacement
• Brake Component Inspection
• Tire Inflation Inspection and Correction
• Maintenance Minder Reset

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Service A vs. Service B

What’s the difference between Sprinter Service A vs. Service B? Timing. Most of the services are very similar, though Service B also adds cabin dust/combination replacement and brake fluid exchange. But Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Service A occurs initially around 10,000 miles, while the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Service B occurs at around 20,000 miles. 

After your first Sprinter Service A, 2009 model-year and newer Sprinter vans will schedule future Service A intervals every 20,000 miles or 2 years. That means you can spend more time taking care of business and less time in the auto shop! Not sure which service is due? Most models display a service due date, based on an automated maintenance calculator. Or, you can always just stop by Mercedes-Benz of Centerville to ask our techs for help!
