How to Check Oil Level in a Mercedes-Benz

Here’s How to Check the Oil Level in Your Mercedes-Benz

Many Mercedes-Benz models have electronic oil monitors that don’t use traditional dipsticks. Accordingly, the first step to checking the oil level in your Mercedes-Benz is breaking out your owner’s manual. If you’re checking the oil manually in an older vehicle, just follow these steps:

1. Park your vehicle on level ground and ensure the engine is turned off and cold.
2. Open your car’s hood and locate the dipstick.
3. Pull the dipstick out of the engine bay. Wipe all the oil off so it’s clean.
4. Put the dipstick all the way back, as though you were going to leave it, then pull it out again and examine both sides to see what the oil level is.

Usually, dipsticks. have two marks to indicate oil level, or a cross-hatched area. If the oil level is between these marks, that indicates you have sufficient oil in your Mercedes-Benz engine. If it isn’t, you’ll need to contact our service center to add more engine oil or schedule Mercedes-Benz Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement service.
