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.

The engine oil level can be checked by either the oil dipstick or via the multifunction display in the instrument cluster.

Wipe the 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 Dip Stick:

The oil level must be between the lower mark (min) and the upper mark (max) on the oil dipstick.

Unscrew the oil filler cap and add oil carefully if you need to top up the oil.

Fill quantity between upper and lower dipstick marking level is approximately 2.1 US qt (2.0L).

Follow the message appearing on the engine oil level indicator display as to quantity to be added. Re-install oil filler cap.

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.

See malfunction and warning messages in your Operator's Manual if an engine oil level display appears on the multifunction display when the engine is running.
