Where is the air filter in a 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter?
The engine air filter is housed in the airbox near the front of the engine compartment for easy access by technicians.

Our technicians at Mercedes-Benz of Draper will locate and inspect both filters, explain findings, and provide options including current service specials.

How often should I change the engine air filter on my 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter?
Typical intervals are every 15,000–30,000 miles depending on driving conditions; dusty or heavy-duty use may require more frequent changes. Our technicians check filter condition during routine visits and recommend precise timing to preserve the turbocharged V6 and fuel efficiency. Use our online tools to schedule appointment and we’ll document recommendations for future service.
What is the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter?
The engine air filter protects the engine’s intake system; the cabin air filter cleans air entering the passenger compartment. Both filters impact performance and comfort — engine filters affect power and emissions; cabin filters affect HVAC efficiency and air quality. Mercedes-Benz of Draper uses OEM filters and certified technicians to ensure both systems meet factory standards and any warranty-covered repairs are completed at a certified dealership.
What are signs of a bad air filter?
Poor acceleration, reduced fuel economy, unusual engine sounds, or diminished HVAC airflow are common signs. Visible dirt or discoloration on inspection means replacement is recommended to avoid long-term damage. Schedule a quick inspection online to confirm; we offer clear estimates, warranty guidance, and service financing to make repairs manageable.
What types of air filters are in a 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter?
The vehicle uses a pleated engine air filter engineered for diesel performance and a cabin/pollen filter designed for passenger comfort. We fit OEM or Mercedes-approved equivalents to preserve turbocharger performance and emissions control systems.

Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter
Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter for your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is key to maintaining reliability and comfort. The engine air filter protects the 3.0L turbo V6, allowing clean air into the combustion chamber to sustain horsepower and prevent premature wear. The cabin air filter, by contrast, cleans the air that circulates through the HVAC system for passengers. Both are small components with big impact: engine filters influence fuel economy and emissions, cabin filters support interior air quality. At Mercedes-Benz of Draper we use OEM parts and factory-procedure inspections to ensure each filter performs as intended; warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid, and we honor that requirement while delivering documented, precise service. Take advantage of our specialist knowledge—schedule appointment or view our service specials to protect both engine performance and passenger comfort.
