What oil do you use for a 2006 Dodge Sprinter?

The recommended oil for a 2006 Dodge Sprinter depends heavily on the *specific engine* it has. Dodge Sprinters of that year came with several different engine options (e.g., Mercedes-Benz CDI diesels, and possibly a gasoline engine).

You absolutely MUST check your owner's manual. This manual will specify the exact type and weight of oil recommended by the manufacturer for your particular engine. The manual will list the correct viscosity (like 5W-30, 10W-40, etc.) and the API certification (like CJ-4 for some diesels). Using the wrong oil can severely damage your engine.

If you don't have the owner's manual, you can:

* Find a digital version online: Search for "[Your Sprinter's Engine Code] owner's manual" (The engine code is usually found on a sticker in the engine bay.)

* Contact a Dodge dealership: They can look up the specifications based on your vehicle's VIN.

* Use a reliable online parts database: Sites like AutoZone or Advance Auto Parts allow you to enter your vehicle's information to find the correct oil. However, always double-check with your owner's manual.

Using the wrong oil can lead to serious engine damage and costly repairs. Don't take shortcuts; find the correct information before changing your oil.
