Description
Overview
The C4312/1 Engine Air Filter is engineered for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans — the backbone of commercial fleets across North America. Whether your Sprinter runs the 3.0L V6 Turbo Diesel (OM642) from 2007-2009 or the 2.1L I4 Twin-Turbo (OM651) from 2014 onward, this filter delivers the precise airflow and filtration your engine demands. Clean air = clean combustion = longer DPF life and better MPG.

FAQ
Q: Will this fit my 2016 Sprinter 2500 2.1L?
A: Yes. The C4312/1 fits all 2014-2022 Sprinter 1500/2500/3500 with the 2.1L OM651 4-cylinder diesel engine.
Q: How often should I replace the air filter on a delivery Sprinter?
A: For stop-and-go delivery routes in urban environments, replace every 15,000-20,000 miles. For highway use, 25,000-30,000 miles is standard. Inspect at every oil change.
Q: What happens if I don't replace the air filter on time?
A: A clogged filter restricts airflow, causing rich fuel mixture, increased DPF regen cycles, reduced MPG, and potential turbocharger damage from dirt ingestion. On a Sprinter, this can cost thousands in repairs.
Q: Does this also fit Dodge Sprinter models?
A: Yes — Dodge-badged Sprinters from 2007-2009 with the 3.0L V6 diesel are mechanically identical to Mercedes/Freightliner versions and use the same air filter.
