The onboard oil level display in Mercedes vehicles is inadequate, similar to that of all contemporary automobiles. Upon purchasing our E class, the oil level indicated the minimum threshold. Following a comprehensive service, it was also at a minimum level. Due to my obsessive-compulsive tendencies, I added 100ml, resulting in a display of maximum capacity.
I consulted our local Mercedes specialist, who indicated that it is not an optimal system and should function well as long as it does not indicate low oil levels. Was the vehicle positioned on a flat surface when it indicated the level? On our device, it frequently indicates that it is measuring the oil level without displaying any information. I detest the absence of a dipstick. Exercise caution when adding oil, as it is highly sensitive and can be easily overfilled, which will trigger a warning message. As it is not possible to extract oil from the dipstick tube in the event of overfilling, it is a nuisance to remove a small amount to achieve the appropriate level.
