The third generation of the Mercedes Sprinter was presented on February 6, 2018, in Duisburg. The first vehicles were sold in June 2018. In this post, I want to share my experience resetting the oil light or service minder on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
So when maintenance service is due, the service minder light will appear on the cluster screen. The service interval must be reset after your vehicle’s oil change. So let’s see what we can do to help you.

What is Service A in Mercedes Sprinter?
That brief message on your dash will soon tell you it’s time for your first ten thousand miles. Check up what Mercedes-Benz calls “Service A,” but what you probably call is an engine oil change. So do you really need the technician? After all, how complicated is an oil change possibility?
There is quite a difference between a minor service and just an oil change though most people aren’t aware of it. A minor service requires more time and is much more involved than you think. But doing an oil change, drop the oil, and you change the filter. Maybe you might do a tire pressure, but that’s about it.
With a minor service, the dealer uses inspection sheets that go through the car top-to-bottom, in and out. They have a multi-point inspection sheet that we fill out and the Mercedes Benz service sheet, and it’s a lot they have to go through.
Your Mercedes-Benz is a fusion of luxury, performance, advanced safety, technologies, engineering excellence, and an automotive masterpiece. So this ten thousand-mile oil change is, in fact, a meticulous step-by-step inspection that is specific to both your vehicle’s model and year. It is designed to keep your Mercedes-Benz best performing like it was engineered.
FAQ – Mercedes Sprinter Service
Mass airflow sensor (MAF) power is out of whack with the Mercedes Sprinter’s P0101 code. The code is usually produced when a sensor is broken, or the connections are loose.
The CHF 11S Synthetic Oil Power Steering Fluid is an excellent choice for Mercedes Sprinters.
So that’s basically going to reset the service monitor light in your Mercedes Sprinter. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comment section, and I’ll do my best to walk you through them. All right, hopefully, I’ll hear from you quickly. Hopefully, this operation works for you. Talk to you later.

my 2020 Sprinter 3500 turbo diesel has a single large color display rather than the two part black and white. Do you know how to reset the Service A on that unit?
Same question as the above poster. This procedure does not work for the newer color displays. Any info would be greatly appreciated! I have now spent more time on this step than the oil change itself!!
Any suggestions on above comments. This does not work on the 2022 model.
