At 70 I just bought a 2020 E450 wagon and this will be the first car i've ever owned without a dipstick. I'm not happy about the lack of freedom to take a look, touch and smell motor oil. Since most of the time the cars just sit, I always enjoy checking out the oil. Thankfully my BMWs, 22 and 52 years old have a dipstick. I'll savor it all the more.

Thank mate.. I’ve wonder around looking for dipstick 😂😂

Jesus. Everyone was getting it way wrong. Thanks for this.

Thanks for the video. I was looking under the bonnet of an A-class (not my car) for something vaguely resembling a dipstick and I failed miserably...the only dipstick was me😆.

Superb . Better than the owners manual

Thanks for your help

mine can read anything from just above max to just below min during the course of a day........i get that dealers what to make money servicing but not providing a dipstick and relying purely on an electronic sensor on what is a significant fluid seems reckless. i would like the peace of mind to be able to physically check given the apparent randomness of the sensor.

Oil expands quite a bit with temperature as per simple thermal dynamics…

Has it been like that since new? Maybe you'd like to change the sensor, located at the bottom of the oil pan. I believe you unbolt it and replace it (with sump empty), nothing difficult.

Mine is doing the same 2020 b220d Just serviced the car and when I saw the the issue the garage told that is perfectly normal as the oil expands. Did you find an issue?

Cheers. Top man. 👍🏼

Very helpful. Thanks.

Thanks

Do you know where oil tempreture shows? I can't see into my C300de although its the same interface.

Do you know what buttons to press to release rear brake calliper so you can change them?

I would assume you need to have a scan tool that has that option.

Google how to access workshop mode then rear pad replacement would be on that menu. To access you have to hold black touch button and back button at the same time while on ignition position 1

Is there a dipstick where you can physically check it yourself?

My GLE 350 says engine oil level currently not available. It appears to me it is because the engine is still cold or is it something else?

You need to close the hood

Hi how about for brake fluid? Does it show the level for brake fluid too?

Hey, no, you’ll have to check under the hood/bonnet for that.

My cla 180 is showing this message when checking oil level, ‘engine oil level currently inoperative’ any suggestions?

it can’t read the oil level, is it the same once the engine hot? needs to be on a level surface.

sorry mate, the oil dipstick isn't present?

My onboard cpu doesn’t have a service icon

😮

So, the oil level is at max? The green line looks low from the top of the bubble? Where’s the max line???

@GarageTechAutomotive

Hey, the max is that line where mine is at, there’s a gap above to indicate if the engine is over filled with oil. Hope that helps 👍🏽
