Additional Notes

  • All configurations of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500/3500, 906 across the 2010-2018 span share a uniform 10-liter cooling system capacity, regardless of whether the engine is the OM642 or OM651.
  • The OM642-equipped Sprinter 2500/3500 from 2010-2012 carries a change interval of 180 months with no mileage limit specified, placing the entire service trigger on elapsed time alone.
  • For the 2012-2015 OM642 configuration under normal use, the change interval tightens considerably to 90,000 miles or 60 months, whichever comes first, making it the shortest interval across all listed configurations.
  • The same 2012-2015 OM642 configuration also carries a separate initial service interval of 180 months or 180,000 miles, applying only to the first coolant change rather than subsequent ones under normal use.
  • The 2015-2016 OM642 configuration returns to the extended 180-month or 180,000-mile interval under normal use, aligning with the initial service interval that applied to the prior generation.
  • The OM651 engine, introduced in the Sprinter 2500/3500 906 from 2014, enters the specifications already at the 180-month or 180,000-mile interval for normal use, with no shorter preceding interval listed for that engine family.
  • Both the 2016-2018 OM642 and 2016-2018 OM651 configurations list only a 10-liter capacity with no change interval specified, distinguishing them from all earlier model year entries in the dataset.
