[@WayneARobertson]

Great!!!!

[@starrleo12]

One i pull my dipstick out ,i put it back in and push it to make sure its all the way in then i recheck it!Im glad i ran acroos the video i really thought i was losing my mind!😅😅😅I also notice i smell a little burnt oil smell sometimes!

[@ilhommuminov708]

I’m using a Liqui Moly 5w-40 it’s a really good German oil and approved by all German brand cars !

[@xxforeverkissedxx6132]

This video made me sane again, I've been getting the check oil light in the morning for 3 days now. I was a quart shy this whole time thinking the pressure sensor was bad. Thank you sir.

[@WayneARobertson]

Your Welcome!!!

[@JimyOfficial]

A quart shy threw your oil light? Wtf😭

[@JimyOfficial]

Did it say “check oil after next refueling” ?

[@xxforeverkissedxx6132]

@@JimyOfficial ya it did

[@JimyOfficial]

@@xxforeverkissedxx6132 same just happened to me. I put 6 quarts in and it read that. I thought as long as it’s not almost empty that wouldn’t come on

[@joebravo8724]

Thank you for the instructions. I almost had a stroke when I checked the oil after driving 1,000 miles straight and it came out empty!

[@DrMerciless]

I believe as long as the levels are between the two arrows you are good to go. The oil does not need to be at max level line.

[@theoneandonlystork]

Yes, you are correct. You do not need to “fill up” ALL the way- depending on temperature. Cars can have overfilled oil as well. And by the way, when in the video he says “x200” it is just “MAX”- he couldn’t read it upside-down.

[@ryanjade2836]

Excellent video. Thank you. I have a CLS 550 with m273 and its tricky to get a clear oil reading sometimes.

[@WayneARobertson]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ryans-d7d]

Thank you brotha! Awesome video, finally figured out how to get a proper reading on my dip stick!

[@WayneARobertson]

Great. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!!

[@skwaihee]

Why did they design a dipstick that's so hard to see?

[@WayneARobertson]

It's Mercedes. They like to be fancy. Count your blessing, the newer engines don't have a dipstick at all.

[@redtandem8483]

Agree.

[@chineduchristianntomchukwu4960]

Thank you so much Sir for the video. I almost lost my mind thinking of excessive engine oil consumption.

[@WayneARobertson]

Happy to help

[@captainamerica9353]

My kid just bought a 2003 S500 and the oil / tranny dipsticks are on the passenger side. BTW, you only need to wait 10 minutes after shutting down to check oil. No need to wait overnight in freezing weather!

[@eeof]

thank you it is Maybach 4matic?

[@WayneARobertson]

@@eeof it is a 2016 Mercedes Benz S550 4Matic

[@eeof]

@@WayneARobertson thank you 😆😆

[@roseshanen]

thank you my friend, this is a good video I learned a lot.

[@WayneARobertson]

It makes me happy that people learn. I try to make everything easy as possible.

[@juhdah2146]

Good video!! I am in the process of changing my oil (no dipstick) when l checked the oil level the message says, “oil level currently not available.” You know anything about this right off? I am thinking because the engine is cold.

[@WayneARobertson]

Start and let the engine run. Check the oil while the engine is running.

[@TheBstegold]

Thanks for another great video. I recently changed the oil on my 2015 S550 4Matic (W221 engine correct?) . I used an oil an oil extractor through the dipstick. I only got 7 quarts out. I replaced 7 quarts and will check oil level. One thing I would like to pass on is this: “a tow truck mechanic once told me to always wait until the RPM drops below 1000 mark or wait a little until the vehicle reaches idle” then you drive off. This he said reduces the pressure in engine which is what you want! I am not a mechanic but I did what he said with an old RR I had and I never broke down on the road anymore, smile. The vehicle coolant reservoir/hose was always bursting when I started the vehicle and just go….after doing what he said… it never happened again. What are your thoughts on this?

[@WayneARobertson]

I agree 100% wether the car is brand new or used I wait for my tach to drop to 1000 rpm. That's solid advice you can pas down. The only exception is if the car is electric. lol

[@TheBstegold]

@@WayneARobertson you are hilarious with that electric car remark. lol. Thanks again

[@gusf8451]

incorrect, your car is W222, but that's not the engine that's model number "w" stands for wagon, and your engine is M278 "M" stands for motor. :)

[@SofianeSofiane-c5c]

Can i make same check for W212 E250 CDI ?

[@WayneARobertson]

Not sure about that, so you must test the theory.

[@voguetheclub6145]

Hello. I can check my oil level in the same way at a Mercedes S 63 AMG coupe? Thanks. I verified the oil and i was dissapointed, it seems that the level isn't ok....it has 86.000 km. I'm worried sick....

[@WayneARobertson]

Warm up your car for 5 minutes, then turn it off and pull the dipstick out. Check your oil level on the stick. Be prepared to have 1 to 2 quarts of oil in your trunk 0W40 or 5W40 Mobile 1 Synthetics or whatever grade your car uses.

[@morgandollar7146]

Thank you! Everywhere I look keeps telling me to use the computer!

[@dnlmachine4287]

Thank you for posting, temperature definitely affects dipstick readings. If youre lucky enough NOT to have a dipstick, here is the procedure: Step 1 - Locate disptick. Step 2 - ????? Step 3 - $$$$$ Stay gold.

[@SUGAM001]

Excellent

My dipstick is in a different spot... it's in the front... yours is in the back.. we have the same car.... 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@WayneARobertson]

Yes some engines ate different but similar
