C32 AMG, C55 AMG (W203) 2001 - 2007

It's probably in the Manual, but I'll ask here. Oil fill.

I changed the oil/filter last night, and did the "test" to see if it was full enough. The message said something about servicing the car at its regular interval. Does that mean oil level is OK? I put in about 7-1/2 quarts.

It should have told you it was 'OK', add some, or too much!

Out of curiosity, when you measured, did the system give the following prompts?
1. make sure the car is on level surface....
2. measuring oil level....
3. [results of measurement]

Yes, I got those messages. Maybe it's a bit low.

The interval message just says that the car is not warm enough or is too hot to measure the oil.... It is in the manual..........

Thanks. Why doesn't the message just say that!

Woot, first post for me.

All you really need to do after you change the oil, fire it up to let the oil circulate. Then shut it off. If the engine is warm, it usually takes 5 minutes, if it's cold, it could take about 15-20 minutes for the oil to settle, and then it'll give you a reading.
