just turn the key to the right just until your gauges activate WITHOUT starting the engine, from there you use your arrows on your steering wheel and toggle until you get to "ck engine oil" if you just drove the car, there a 5 min. waiting period before it will read the oil level, if the car has been sitting for at least 1/2 hr. or more than you can ck it right away...just make sure the car is on level ground...

I don't have an owner's manual yet (so I am not an owner). Could someone explain:
a) In what increments (volume) does the display tell you if you are low?
b) What weight Mobil-1 does the C55 use?
TIA

C55 uses 0w40...pretty standard for mb
Volume is pretty much (at least to my experience...can't tell if they changed anything or not) good or bad. I don't think they tell you how much to add because I don't think they want you adding any. They are making good money doing oil changes (read extremely good) and just want to be able to tell you when to drive to the dealer to give them their $50 of profit for 10-20 minutes of work. Lawyers charge less than this, but can be less valuable. Ain't the world a crazy place?
