I think the MB Sprinter is only diesel. No gas.

- midnightsadieExplorer IImines a 2007 but has the MB 5cyc engine ,cost a $118. at the dealer for a oil filter change. I,ve had class A, B, c, rv,s and like this one the best.
- bobojay5Explorer2007 on up V6 takes a special MB 229.51 spec 5w-40 oil, 13.5 qts. Mobil 1 & Valvoline are the most prevalent brands. Anywhere from $6.00 to $10.50 per qt. depending on where bought. The new 2014 4cyl tales 9 qts of the same oil.
10k mile oil changes up till 2014, then they raised it to 15k. Oil filters are about $8.50 to $11.00, again depending on where bought and what brand.
Fuel filters are 20k miles and if newer than 2012 1/2 chassis, they are over $100.00 on the V6. Up to 2012 and the new 4cyl the fuel filters are around $35.00.
Oil changes at dealers are priced all over the place. Others will chime in on that as I do all my own changes.
Transmission oil & filter changes are 40 to 60k, 40k recommended if it's an RV. They are around $400.00 again depending on where it's done. I was quoted $425.00 about 8 months ago.
DEF fluid is anywhere between $2.90 and $12.00 per gallon. Truck stops at the pump are the lowest. Dealers are ridiculously high. You get about 2k miles per gallon on that.
Hope this helps....
