Additional Notes

  • Both the Sprinter 2500 CDI and Sprinter 3500 CDI share an identical automatic transmission fluid capacity of 7 liters across the 2003-2006 model years.
  • A 7-liter automatic transmission fluid capacity is consistent with a service fill figure, meaning the quantity required during a routine fluid change rather than a full overhaul, which would typically demand a higher volume to account for fluid retained in the torque converter and valve body passages.
  • The capacity specifications for both configurations are designated under normal use conditions, meaning the 7-liter figure applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles.
  • The alignment of fluid capacity between the 2500 and 3500 CDI variants across the full 2003-2006 span suggests both gross vehicle weight ratings share the same transmission assembly for automatic fluid servicing purposes.
