Sprinter Maintenance

I have a Class C motorhome on a 2014 Sprinter chassis. I found one at a bargain, not realizing how expensive mainenance might be. There are two service procedures, A and B that alternate. A is primarily oil and filter change and various inspections. B adds fuel filter. Because I don’t drive many miles, my maintenance is annual. And because annual maintenance at the dealer is somewhat expensive, I’ve chosen to do it myself with some help. Grandpa Ron has a website that has really helped me get through the maintenance.

There are two gotchas that I struggled with. The first is that it is easy to replace the oil filter element not fully seated. You have to press really hard until you feel the final click. The other is that the the fuel return line has a clip that fits into a slot when you fully press the hose on to the filter connector. I couldn’t press the connector on far enough until I put Vaseline on it. Thanks, Claude!
