#729 of 1262 Re: just bought a "new" 2500 shc 140 passenger [1sprinterparts] by surlyoldbill Jul 27, 2006 (7:15 am)
Replying to: 1sprinterparts (Jul 25, 2006 11:01 am) Thanks for the info. However, for this oil change, I would rather get the filter locally rather than wait and pay shipping as well. The local "good old boys" auto parts store has the Hastings filters in stock, $8. Because the oil was so dark and thick, I don't know if it had ever been changed before (20k). I am going to use a cheaper non-syn oil for this change, and then change it again in a few thousand miles to the Mobil-1 0-40. That way I can clean some of the gunk out before doing what I hope will be a 15k oil change (and $75 worth of oil!). I may order a case of filters if the end price is comparable.

I am tring to get information on purchasing and customizing a Dodge Sprinter van for my family (6 kids). Nothing to fancy like Airstream but more that the box it comes as (and preferably not white). Does anybody know of a dealership that does this?

Replying to: surlyoldbill (Jul 27, 2006 7:15 am) Surlyoldbill....The 0w-40 oil is very thing and the engine will shatter very loud and also the configuration is not for diesel engine. The delo 400 is an cl4+ oil made for diesel and when you use it the engine will run smooth and not loud at all. The oil will get dirty at about 6000 miles of use, for a dino is the best. The Sprinter will work better with dino but also I replaced mine at 6000 miles not at ten as the book said. to me if you can replaced the oil at 5000 miles, the better. -The cleaner the oil the better will run. That is my opinion.

Hello all.Just picked up my new Sprinter this week and I have a question regarding the daytime running lights.In Canada we must have daytime running lights to properly register the vehicle.Does anyone know if the daytime running lights are activated through the computer? I don't want to damage the computer if I install a relay connected to the start switch in order to turn my lights on upon starting the vehicle. Thank you for any information regarding this issue. By the way,I am really impressed with the fuel mileage on my first trip. Guy Replies to this message: widethoughts (Aug 04, 2006 11:54 pm)
#735 of 1262 reset maintenance asst by sonnywood2 Jul 29, 2006 (5:01 pm)
i have the maintenance asst in my 2006 sprinter and would like to know if anyone knows how to reset the maintenance asst to zero after service. can i change it without voiding the warranty my dealer quoted me about $200.00 for the oil, oil filter and fuel filter. i think that is a bit steep so i would like to do it myself. is that what everyone has been paying? they also said i had to change it at 10,000 look in my book. so i did and i read it to say change when it tells you. got 11,000 and says about 3000 more until it is due. isn't that why you pay the extra money for the maintenance asst? i don't think they are to hip on the sprinter. they only have one person to work on them. you need to make an appointment to get it serviced.

Replying to: bsperty (Jul 27, 2006 2:03 pm) all caps is jarring and is conventionally used to indicate SHOUTING. if you don't like to switch between lower and upper case, then you could use all lower case like a lot of people do. however, i usually don't. I use the standard convention for upper and lower case mainly partly because I am 62 years old and rigid.   From the wording of your post it was clear you were not shouting. Your post was harder to read than it would have been in standard lower and upper case type, but punctuation is very often used to liven up prose. Your post conveyed the impression that the writer was a not very internet savy, old-fashioned grease-under-the-fingernails mechanic. This may lend more credibility to your posts for some people and reduce it for others. Lots of people intentionally give a certain impression over the net. Maybe you are acting, or maybe this is really you!   I am not "offended" by all upper case, but I think we should write like our high school English teachers taught us to.   Jim Replies to this message: altered3 (Jul 30, 2006 4:49 pm)

Replying to: jim314 (Jul 30, 2006 4:19 pm) Just a case of a differnt point of view, to today's society One need's to be aware in the US! Of which,there is a differnt group of folk with varying education standards, time has changed, we no longer have the luxury of living in the fifty's. Unfortunatley standards have changed, as a direct result of Govenments failing to teach the basic, three R's. Altered Sprinter. Australian Citizen PS: And a for, the start letter!

#738 of 1262 oil type by sonnywood2 Jul 30, 2006 (5:02 pm)
why is there so much confusion on the type of oil to use. my book on the 2006 says to use mobil 1 0w-40 change at 10,000 unless you have the asst. why are some you saying don't use mobil #1 that it is not a diesel oil. it is installed by the factory that builds it. they surely would not tell you to use something that is going to do it any harm. did the freight liner call for something other than mobil 1?
