Yep. That is almost exactly our current plan.

It's really kind of sad. We LOVE our Sprinter, and will miss its refinement and overall quality. We will miss it a lot. Moreover, the basic powertrain...

Not limited starts (as far as I know, that is DEF-related exclusively). Symptoms of the wheel-sensor failures have varied. You will always get a CEL plus the infamous "no cruise control", "no ABS",...

I am aware of that product. But, I have never seen a first-hand report that it actually works. (I am not saying that it doesn't work--but at the price I would like some evidence). When you finally...

The 100K mile warranty is limited to 5 years, no?

The Sprinter engines are wonderful. Maintenance is easy and not terribly expensive (except at certain dealers). The emissions stuff, not so much....

The "post" actually changes constantly. I think the "motorcycle oil" recommendation has recently been removed from the (in)famous screed. But he still stands behind it in other places. He does now...

Thank you for posting this link. I recommend that folks actually read it. If they do, they will see that it says nothing like what he claims it says.

He claims the following:

This is the guy who says that you should use motorcycle oil in your Sprinter, rather than the specified BeVo certified lubricants. :banghead:

I have to give him credit--that ridiculous article is...

For the record:
I never said that the manual didn't mention long idle. What I said was that it didn't say that you couldn't do it. It only says that you have to balance it with highway driving, as...

Sprinters come with a mounting location specifically designed for take-off devices like second alternators. They are explicitly referenced in the Bodybuilders guidelines. They are not an issue.

Yes, I remember both of those discussions. Thank you. I don't at all doubt that "somebody" at MB made those statements. I also agree with the advice, and follow it myself. But, as you have...

ONE company did so, and it is not the company we are talking about. I would not buy a Volkswagen vehicle if my life depended on it. The insuination that "they all do it" requires support.

Nothing you can do to your vehicle will affect the warranty in any way. Federal law guarantees this. You can use Mazola oil in your engine if you want to. It is just that any damage caused by your...
