Dipstick not snug
I have a 2012 c250 and I noticed that the oil dipstick doesn't fit snug. It also looks like the dipstick o-ring is too small compared to the diameter of the dipstick tube. Anyone else notice this?

I recently pulled out the dipstick and noticed that it was rusted so maybe the dipstick doesn't have the proper seal?

Can you guys do me a favor and check to see if your dipsticks fit snug? I'm thinking maybe the mechanic accidentally swapped my dipstick for another car.

Mine fits snug.
BTW; are you out of the factory warranty? The dealer will replace it if it's still within the mileage/timeline.
