Correct dipstick? C 350 pre facelift

Hi,

Is this the correct dipstick for the C 350 M272 engine pre facelift? Model year 2008.

It says "A27200" on it. It has a MB-

style "star" on it as well.

I would like to get it confirmed in order to determine the correct oil level of the car.

Thanks,

Thanks, I found it too. They look similar. I wonder if I can identify if the dipstick is correct without buying a new one.

I would trust that the beginning of the part number matches what is on the dipstick. Do you have the one you took a picture of? You can always get the one from FCP and do a side-by-side comparison.

I thought so too. Then replacements could have been made since back in 2008 so that a newer part number ia used. I can check both sides of my dipstick to check if it has a full part number on it.

Thanks.

Whats your vin?

Theres two dipsticks, the one you posted for engines with a rear sump, then one for engines with a middle sump. I think the difference is between 4matic and rwd. Im guessing. Can look at the shape of the dipstick tube for which one is there.

Rear sump dipstick: Looks like the one you posted.




Middle sump dipstick. Has a round handle. I have this one in my 4matic M272.

It is the rear sump one as you mention. The dipstick handle looks the same as in that related picture. Thanks, all seems like the dipstick is correct.
