berti_00 · 04-26-2012, 02:48 PM

no dipsticks on our cars

berti_00 · 04-26-2012, 03:11 PM

no dipsticks or tranny sticks lol

AMG E Power · 04-26-2012, 03:15 PM

lol i know!!!! sometimes i would like to check the oil myself rather than trusting a computer with sensors that go bad. steelership probably has one u can order for over $100 ! F that.

tbal · 04-26-2012, 04:11 PM

I would like to know this too. Cant trust the computer reading...

komp55 · 04-26-2012, 04:44 PM

Buy the factory tool dipstick if you want to check the level manually. Unfortunately, it's not designed to actually remain in the engine like a traditional dipstick, but it works really well when used. I'm pretty sure a search here would probably yield the MB part number for it since I know this has been discussed before.

MB#120589072100

I just bought one off of ebay and it works just fine.

berti_00 · 04-26-2012, 05:17 PM

hold your horses guys i think i have found our solution... just went to the dealer and ordered a ml430 dipstick and they are the same exact fitment and it was 21 dollars

part number is 113.010.04.72

No, the factory tool is not designed to be left in the engine while it's running. It is calibrated in milliliters, and you compare the reading on the dipstick to the chart that's published in the WIS. Based on the reading, you know how much oil to add or delete. It's very precise, and it's a good thing not to overfill this engine.

I wouldn't trust that a dipstick designed for use in another engine is calibrated correctly for the M113K engine. The only way I would trust it is to take measurements using my factory tool, set the oil fill level to perfect specification, and then check the reading on the ML430 dipstick. You could then mark that dipstick for the exact fill level required for the M113K engine.

Is the one you ordered designed to be left in the engine?

yah its just a regular dipstick that stays in

berti_00 · 04-26-2012, 05:40 PM

In the interest of science, I'll spend $15 at my online parts supplier and buy the dipstick you mention, compare its readings to those of the factory tool, and report my findings. I'm old school and trust what I can see rather than relying on an electronic sensor which has been known to fail on occasion.

berti_00 · 04-26-2012, 05:55 PM

id rather do the same thing... i dont trust no sensors

i just got a message on my dash "reduce oil level or something" i've had my oil changed about 2500 miles ago was measured twice with that measuring dip stick and was perfect so am thinking my sensor is failing... if so is this the one?

Bumping this up. Anyone figure out a usable engine oil/trans dipstick?

Doesnt make sense but
http://www.ebay.com/itm/DORMAN-917-3...-/200812846531

honestly dont think the same dipstick fits all these vehicles.

Gadget@URD · 12-26-2012, 11:56 AM

I just ordered the factory dipstick 120 589 07 21 00

It does not seem to go all the way into the dip stick tube and appears to bottom out.

Is this typical? If so, how do you know it is in far enough? I have about 7 inches poked out of the top.

that is typical. All the MB tools (trans etc) do that...

Just jam it in there until it bottoms then take the reading....

WHTEVO · 12-27-2012, 11:53 PM

I have this one.

cwmateiuc · 12-28-2012, 07:44 AM

Does it go all the way though or does it stick up like one of the other members said there's did? Im interested if this is the correct part.
