Do You Keep your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter full?
Dealership says keep it full. What’s your opinion??? Its like checking your oil and other fluid levels, you do not want it to go dry, I would start at 1000 miles checking and see how much you use, if its not too low check again in 2000 or 2500 miles and figure out how fast it goes bye bye, I would top off before it reaches 1/2 gone.
