Sprinter II 2007-2018 ALL 3.0L V6 diesel
Sprinter III 2019+ 3.0L V6 Diesel
IMPORTANT:
One of the biggest issues with higher mileage V6 engines is oil starvation at the center cartridge of the turbo. The oil feed and return passages are housed inside this cast iron pedestal/support stand. Mercedes Benz dealers automatically replace this component every time that they do a turbocharger replacement. The passageways inside this become restricted over time, due to "oil coking". The turbo rotates at up to 280,000 RPM's and you do not want a lubrication problem at this point of your engine, as it will cause premature failure of the turbocharger. We strongly suggest that you replace this anytime you replace the turbocharger.
