How often to change the air filter on SPRINTER van? 

The frequency of replacing the air filter on the Sprinter RV or van depends on the intensity of use and the environment. Our mechanics in Sprinter Service & Repair in Vista CA can do a free inspection for you. 

Check the filter regularly and correctly install the air filter. 

Do not save on the air filter. An extra $35 a year for a clean air filter seems like a small price to pay to avoid any issues down the road. Double and triple check the filter to make sure it is seated correctly, with the foam edge being compressed all the way around! We often met improperly installed filters in Sprinters, which led to an expensive turbine replacement.

 

The dirt builds up in the filter media.

It's a common misconception that an older filter doesn't hold the dirt back well. That is not true. As the dirt builds up in the filter media the filter actually traps even finer particles. That is the real problem because as the filter media gets loaded up then the airflow is reduced. In the past, that would mean poor engine operation. With the engine computer monitoring and adjusting for changes in airflow that is not really so true anymore until it gets really blocked.
