Mobil 1 0w40 indeed meets 229.3 and 229.5 in Canada. It wasn't on the bottle that I remember and it was under "builder approvals" not specs...thanks for steering me in the right direction

Ridiculously long internet search shows only cars approved on the 228.31 spec (bevo), vans may use 228.3, 228.5, 228.51 or 229.3, 229.31, 229.5, 229.51, 229.52. So my guess is they don't consider 228.31 a truck oil for whatever reason. That's all that's available in the common parts stores that...

Autozone 160 miles away :) got enough so far here, almost had one going to states today but wife is too sick...van is in a borrowed shop 45 min away...never a dull moment. Turtle found me an outlet for trans fluid, just figuring out the oil, different formulations in Canada and walmart stock...

Thank you, no worries here. In canada they're made from beaver fur

In canada Mobil 1 0w40 is formulated by Imperial Oil (esso) and doesn't list any MB applications on the website...however Mobil 1 0w40 FS European Car Formula meets 229.3 and 229.5 (bevo says must use a fleece filter that doesn't exist in North America) Never seen FS on any bottle of Mobile 1...

It's in a Kenworth Truck Center. Should help another Canadian (maybe we can get 4 on EO!)

Thanks. Its my attempt to get it on the road by Monday that's causing me problems here...it would probably be worth shipping to me and paying duty, still cheaper. Can't believe parts stores here are so clueless (go to dealer we don't have it and cant get it) Wow there's a distributor 10 miles...

It is dripping...got a connector at dodge and a king-o-matic filter (20), dealership asked 40 for filter 40 for gasket and 31 dollars a quart for fluid

It was an impressive 3 hour trip to come back with 2 filters and no oil...

Trying to be nice to my new aquisition, 2005 Sprinter and meet the MB specs...transmission fluid at the dealer is 31.41 a quart plus 13% HST...where do i get oil and trans fluid? Nothing off the shelf matches the spec sheets, I can get 228.31 for motor oil but its not on the list...too much crap...

If I got offered 1.50 I'd have a heart attack...take it or back of the line i go...

Seeing that gasket, it looks like this thing wrapped around the front of the transmission like somebody wanted to keep a spare or something? Weird

Talked at length with a transmission guy, speed sensors are supposed to drop to 0 in drive when not moving (duh!) I thought they were losing contact...he agrees with the common wisdom of connector first, if that doesn't work conductor plate...anybody following thread I was trained by Google :)...

That and connector I what I'm trying first. Almost 700 at Dodge, getting one for 260 in toronto that's an MB plate...trying to get it running on Monday, all the offers lately seem to be 2 oversize skids...ordering from Europarts would take an unknown amount of time and a 30% duty to cross the...

Let's see...360 miles at 30 mph lol

Thanks for that tip...it was intermittent, there were 4 lights on, cleared and road tested and did not return - heard on sprinter-source the tailights can cause that, there is a bulb missing...I watched the transmission shaft sensors drop to zero and fault on the scanner when in drive, that and...

Appears to be the hot water recirculation, I don't see exhaust or fuel line, it is behind the left headlight (edit: found a baby exhaust pipe in the front of fender WOOHOO espar!) I kind o got off topic, tested Tcm with scan tool, shifter works properly but speed sensors in transmission read 0...

I have to add the Autel Maxidas DS 708, accessed all my modules and allowed testing on my 2005...cleared all codes...I'll post on the iCarsoft MBII when I get my hands on one

Thanks, saved me the time to find it again...had some experience with the Autel Maxidas DS708 today, it indeed communicates with the 2005 canbus/eobd2 interface and clears all codes...would not fix my trans issue (problem exists immediately on turning key) but I tested shifter functions in real...

I know I need one, not sure whether it matters to get the cheap or good dipstick. Good to know they can be reliable - as for seats, I drove it home and didn't want to get back in my Ram Van, it's down to the metal on the drivers side :D
