Sensitive Oil Dipstick?
Curious. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed how sensitive the oil dipstick is to the vehicle(C300) being level? 
Ive never seen a car this sensitive. If the vehicle is just slightly sloped, like 1/4 bubble on a level the dipstick will go from reading "MAX" to reading about half way to empty.
Also, I read on a forum, someone mentioned the oil should be checked after having just run the vehicle. Is this something in the W204 design? This is contrary to every other vehicle I ever owned which will only give accurate reading dead cold.
