Mercedes Diesel Sprinter motorhome
We are looking at a 2015 Winnebago Navion 24V. Anyone had any problems with this engine/chassie/model? We have never owned a diesel and would like to hear from those who have.

I don’t understand all the confusion about the oil. Go to your chassis manual and use what they recommend. Sprinter parts depot online sells the entire oil change kit based upon your model.
People have a real tendency to get wrapped up in their shorts on some things. Yes, MB has a specific oil spec that they require. Is the oil sometimes hard to find - yes. I believe the spec is now MB 229.52. You can get this oil from NAPA or you can order online. Not a big deal. And a lot of the OP's are correct - pull into a MB dealer for issues on the Class C and they will turn you away as they are not equipped to service most issues and generally do not have doorways and lift ceilings set up to handle class C's. However, if you do a search for Sprinter dealers / service, you will find a listing of BOTH MB and Freightliner dealers across the US that are authorized service centers. I carry a copy of this in my rig, plus have it stored on my phone for reference, if needed.
