c55 question
i just bought a c55 a lil over a month ago. after about 1200 miles i took it to my friends shop to get the oil changed (didnt want to go to stealership). Today while i was driving it, the car made a noise (just the beep, to say new message) and showed a message saying "oil level, reduce oil level". When i restarted my car maybe 6-7 hours later it was gone. So im just basically asking, should i take it to the dealership to get it checked out?

This is the only thing that bothers me about these engines, no physical dipstick. You are left to trust the computer oil level. What does the computer say? If it reads full, then I would take it to the dealer just to be on the safe side.
This trend of no dipstick is showing up on other brands too. BMW's new six has no dipstick. I guess its the trend and ehre it's all going.
I was told that you can purchase a metric-marked dipstick supposedly included on Euro cars but I think it needs to be special ordered through the dealer.
