How often should I change the engine air filter on my 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter?

• Factory guidelines vary with use, but most Sprinter engines benefit from inspection every 12,000–20,000 miles and replacement as needed; heavy urban or dusty use often shortens that interval.
• Park Place Motorcars Dallas recommends regular inspections during oil service and offers reminders, OEM replacements, and fast turnaround to keep your Sprinter running efficiently.
• To book a check, schedule service and ask about available service specials.

What is the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter?

• The engine air filter protects mechanical components and fuel efficiency; the cabin air filter cleans incoming air for passengers, removing pollen, dust, and odors.
• Both filters affect performance and comfort—neglecting either can reduce MPG, strain HVAC systems, and lower resale value.
• Park Place Motorcars Dallas uses OEM filters and documents replacements so warranties remain intact; schedule an inspection online to keep both systems optimized.

What are signs of a bad air filter?

• Reduced acceleration, lower fuel economy, unusual engine sounds, or a dirty HVAC airflow signal a clogged filter.
• For cabin filters, symptoms include reduced airflow, musty smells, or increased dust inside the vehicle.
• Bring your 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter to Park Place Motorcars Dallas for a quick diagnostic—use our schedule service tool and ask about financing options.
