Low Engine oil
Well, my wife's 05' C230 got this sensor triggered last night from the drive home. Saying " Next gas station at 1.0L engine oil"
Ever since MB switched to 5W30 Pennzoil synthetic, the engine's noiser and feels like crap in the morning startup ! Now, it burnt about 1L oil from last service from the dealer. I'm from Canada, so the weather's a bit cooler here in the early morning ! The car's struggling to start and feel like it has a hikcup !
Do you guys have any problem there with 5W30?

Your cam sensors are leaking oil, these cars do not burn oil. Its struggling cause the electronics are covered in oil and producing different readings when cold. When warm the oil in the connectors does not have as much of an affect.
Search for "cam sensor oil leak" and you'll find more info. Then go yell at the dealer for MB being cheap and not spending $80 on preventative maintenance.
