just change oil in my C55 with adding 7,5 liters. Check the OBD which say 7,3 liters but with the manual dipstick i read 111 mm, far from the 150 mm mentioned by mercedes.
I don't understand why.
Do you read on the manual dipstick the 165 mm?

8,5 liters of oil is standard when you change the oil in a C55, inclusive the filter.
When reading the OBD the car must be absolutely levelled.

my dipstick hits the bottom of the sump pan and reads 140mm for 8.5L and 125mm for 7.5L ., if you check in dyno mode the level sensor reads to 100 mL . start the engine and watch the level drop .then you know the sensor works

New to C55 and about to do my first oil change. I have some rookie questions.
1. Can I use a Topsider to suck oil up through dip stick tube in C55?
2. In understand C63 dipstick fits C55. Can I leave it in while driving or is it simply a measurement tool. I would like to be able to see the oil when measuring.

1. No. There are two drain plugs.
2. No. The correct dipstick will not fit all the way in and the reading should be 165mm.
If you drain both plugs, 9 qts will be correct.
