1 Oil dipstick
2 Oil filler cap

The engine oil level can be checked by either the oil dipstick or via the odometer display field (models C 280 and C 43 AMG only) 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.

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 (2.0L).

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.
