1
Oil dipstick
2
Oil filler cap
The engine oil level can be checked by
either the oil dipstick or via the
multifunction indicator in the instrument
cluster.
To check the engine oil level, park
vehicle on level ground, with engine at
normal operational temperature.
Check engine oil level approximately 5
minutes after stopping the engine,
allowing for the oil to return to the oil
pan.
Oil Dipstick
Wipe oil dipstick clean prior to
checking the engine oil level. Fully
insert dipstick in tube, and remove after
three seconds to obtain accurate
reading.
Oil level must be between
the lower (min) and upper
(max) mark of the dipstick.
Fill quantity between upper and lower
dipstick marking level is approximately
2.1 US qt (2.0 l).
Do not overfill the engine. Excessive
oil must be drained or siphoned. It
could cause damage to engine and
catalytic converter not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
