* Year: Different model years have different transmissions and capacities.
* Transmission Type: Sprinters have used various automatic and manual transmissions over the years. The capacity differs greatly between these and even within the types (e.g., a 722.9 automatic will hold a different amount than a 7G-Tronic).
* Whether it's a partial or full drain and fill: A partial fill will use much less fluid than a complete fluid change.
To find the correct amount, you MUST consult your owner's manual. This manual will specify the exact capacity for your specific Sprinter model and transmission. The information is usually found in the maintenance section.
If you don't have the owner's manual, you can try:
* Looking up your VIN: Using your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the manufacturer's website or a parts website might give you access to the specifications.
* Consulting a repair manual for your specific model year and transmission: Repair manuals often contain detailed specifications, including fluid capacities.
* Checking with a Dodge dealership or reputable repair shop: They can look up the correct information using your VIN.
Never just guess the amount of transmission fluid. Overfilling or underfilling can severely damage your transmission.
