So yesterday I got a message saying that I needed to check my oil level at my next re-fueling...I checked the dipstick and it seemed fine. Then after re-fueling I got the message again.

I drive an 09 C63 with just over 8K miles...do I need to be concerned with any oil burning/consumption issues?

Throw in a quart of 0-40 in there and it will go away. Remember you basically still have a brand new engine with a very big displacement. It eats oil like no ther when its fairly new.

If your dip stick shows the correct oil level, don't go throwing a quart in to make the sensor happy. Have the dealer check proper function.

check it in the morning though when the engine is cold.

when that happens, i just swing by the dealership and have them top it off. usually happens about 7500+miles after an oil change

I got the check oil light leaving the dealership the day I bought it. It had 106 miles on it. I came right back to the dealer and they said it was a quart low. So, deffinatly take it to the dealership and have them deal with it.

btw, when I was driving the car home from the dealership after getting the oil light situation fixed, about 2 miles out the car started smoking, the dash went red and the power steering went out in the middle of a busy intersection OMG WTF!!!!! people were honking at me and flipping me off the service guy who toped the motor off with oil forgot to put the god-damn oil cap back on. The cavity in my chest collapsed. My brand new car was on fire.

But, the dealership was very professional and came and picked me up and did a hell of a job cleaning the crap out of it. they have detailed the engine bay twice now and im do for one more here in a couple weeks, plus free oil changes

OMG, I was sick to my stomach for days.

But the dealership made everything right. would have hated to be the service guy that day

OK guys - thanks for the feedback. I will bring it by the dealer and see what they say...I have read about a lot of the headaches folks have had with MB AMG vehicles and I was hoping to avoid them so when I started getting this message yesterday...I found myself saying "not me!"

Its normal, I used to get this message a couple of times. Just fill 1 quart of oil and your good to go.

I wouldn't just throw a quart in there, since the level he's reporting is fine. I would put in maybe a 1/4 to a half a quart. Remember one thing, so much oil can hurt the engine, just as too little oil. Simply put, I would add a little just to please the sensor, as long as the oil level is between the lines on the dipstick.

Check...I will look into this again as the dealer is a solid 60 minute drive in rush-hour traffic. Perhaps just a little bit of oil will please the sensor. I'll report back on this as soon as I get a chance.

And thanks again for the replies - I really appreciate this community.

I had the same thing happen to me after about 1300 miles!

Took it to the dealer & it was about a quart low.
