Capacity by Engine Option
The coolant capacity in your 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter varies slightly depending on the engine :
| Engine Type | Approximate Coolant Capacity (Quarts) | Approximate Coolant Capacity (Liters) |
|---|---|---|
| 2.0L 4-Cylinder (Gas) | 11.6 | 11.0 |
| 2.0L 4-Cylinder (Diesel) | 12.7 | 12.0 |
| 3.0L V6 (Diesel) | 12.7 | 12.0 |
Always consult your owner's manual for the most precise figures for your specific vehicle configuration.
Flush Interval
Mercedes-Benz recommends a coolant flush for the Sprinter generally every 5 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first under normal operating conditions. If your Sprinter is subjected to severe duty, such as frequent towing, extreme temperatures, or dusty environments, it's wise to consider changing the coolant every 3 years or 75,000 miles.
Regular coolant changes are vital to prevent corrosion, maintain proper heat transfer, and protect against freezing/boiling.
