6. What is this dot thing about brake fluid?
Dot is generally known as the Depart of Transportations recommendation. Dot 2 fluid is generally used for 4 wheel drum brakes. Dot 3 fluid is generally used for front disc and rear drum brakes. Dot 4 fluid is generally used for 4 wheel disc brakes. Most of the time the higher number will work for the lower number dot but you should never install a lower number dot in a system requiring a higher number dot. It also is generally not recommended to mix standard brake fluid with synthetic styles. Most vehicles have the dot requirements written on top of the fluid reservoir's cap. Sprinter Vans use DOT 4 Brake Fluid we sell it under part number - DOT 4 TYP 200I - Always replace brake fluid every two years. System holds 1.2 Liters -

8. How do I check the ATF? (Automatic Transmission Fluid)
Generally you should check it with your Sprinter warm. Warm means full operational temperature. (Note: ATF is flammable so be very careful) Most dipsticks have a hot and a cold side it & it is best to read the hot (or warm) side and it should normally read half way between minimum and maximum. Remember the Sprinter should be running and in Park. (For saftey you should also block the wheels) Note: Sprinter Vans do not come with dip sticks. There is a red plug that needs to be removed (part number 1409910055I and dip stick tool number 140589152100I) the temp dip stick is used to calculate fluid levels and the plug is reinserted. Most people prefer to install a fresh plug.  System hold about 7.0 Liters "DO NOT OVERFILL"

11. What does OEM mean?
The part brand is a brand that the manufacturer used when building the Sprinter, however today that does not always mean that it was the brand your Sprinter came with. Some Sprinter have brands as OEM due to shortages, availability and plant where that vehicle was built.

12. Aftermarket part?
