Altered3... The oil is Chevron Delo 400 and it has the applications for MB 228.3 and 228.1 the API service is Cl-4 and Cl-4plus. That is what I use. no syn oil what so ever; I think that the 2.7 engine will run with dino oil as good as syn oil or maybe better. What do you think about the tranny, the other day I went to check the oil and pull the red tab (which I broke) to find out the there is no rod to check the oil. why DC or MB do that; Is there a after mark rod that we can buy. What's up.....

K&N has a good reputation
 
I spent about $400 getting a K&N filter installed on my Suburban. It was much noisier and my mileage dropped about 1 MPG. I am not a fan. I will just use OEM filters on all my vehicles.

not Ultra low never ever use this fuel for current Sprinters,
 
I have most of 4900 miles on my Sprinter using BP/ARCO Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel. Runs great. I only used ULSD in my Passat TDI with excellent results. It will be good when all stations are carrying ULSD.

Gagrice.... I think that the worst enemy that the new engine like the Mb and Jeep CRD is the low,low diesel fuel that the US have, all the problems with the EGR valve and emission controls are because bad diesel fuel. I am from florida and I think that fla will be the last place for the ULSD to arrive; The BP that we have here do not sell diesel and ARCO is all gone, the rest get their fuel from the central fl pipe lines that come from Tampa (I think) so maybe by october we all have it..

Im not sure why dodge does this, but I have had so many requests for a dipstick that I ordered the specail tool and sell it on ebay. I have sold 20 or thirty of them. It comes with instructions. This is the Miller tool that Dodge sends us to check fluid in sprinter vans and is not ment to stay in the van while driving. You can also find that red clip on my website www.sprinterparts.net.
Thanks

Sprinter is so LOUD by mdman1

I just test drove a 2500 158-base passenger wagon. The dealer let me take it home for the weekend. At highway speeds, the thing was unbearably loud, particularly going up hills. Not highway noise, but engine noise. I'd like to somehow work out getting one (the 140 without the high roof), but there's no way with such a loud operation. Does the front insulation option help at all with the noise? Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thx.

Thanks for the suggestion. A larger engine - won't that be louder? Noise is the main concern, not necessarily power. Is the sound dampening better in the new model?
 
FWIW, the model I drove was a 2006.
 
Thx.

mdman1... It could be something wrong with the engine van.
I saw a 2002 sprinter on autozone one day and the engine was so loud that impress me I ask the man and he said that it had poor maintenance and the oil was not the right oil.
I use dino oil delo 400 and my sprinter is not loud it run smooth and the sound is sweet and mellow I love it; have 9000 miles on it and it give me about 23 to 25 miles to a gallon, a friend has one with 40000 miles and he said that he get 30 mpg.
