oil fill location
I tend apparently to specialize in dumb questions. Where is the oil fill for a 2012 C63? I looked in the owners manual, and that is no help inasmuch as it refers to plain ole C variants, and the cap in the picture does not look like anything under my hood, nor could it be located where it is in the manual.
I think what I am looking for is a plastic cap with a a faux hex head in the middle and it has AMG above and below. It also has the "oil can" symbol on it. It is near the right front of the engine and slightly to its right (when facing the engine from the front). It looks like it is on the oil pump. Based upon the foregoing I suppose I could unscrew the cap and figure it out, but I would like to confirm what I am unscrewing first.
Thanks guys,

Thanks BLKROKT
Thanks. Even blind squirrels find acorns ... Sometimes the obvious answer needs confirmation, as too often I have been wrong as to the correctness of such.

The oil filler caps in cars around the world for the last 20 yr have marked with in icon so the caps are universal regardless of what country and language they go to. It also differentiates from the blue cap for antifreeze.
The little yellow oil can with the dripping spout bring anything to mind?
Page 280 of your manual shows the tamer cars for sure but it is the same symbol.

Question
I'd rather ask a question to confirm what I thought, rather than assume and screw up. I did the latter with a Porsche Turbo a number of years ago, and while it was not an oil issue, I did manage to hand grenade the engine. Maybe I'm gun shy.

Ah Ha
Ya know, I was wondering what that rather oily substance was on the windshield. It did a **** poor job of cleaning. But on otherhand I got remarkable mileage out of the wiper fluid ... until things went bang of course.

LOL
Thanks Max. You have to laugh. It makes life easier, and perplexes the hell out of others. I went though VietNam that way, although the humor was of the deepest and darkest type.
I like your helmet BTW. Nice design.

You are looking for a plastic cap with a a faux hex head in the middle and it has AMG above and below. It also has the "oil can" symbol on it. It is near the right front of the engine and slightly to its right (when facing the engine from the front). It looks like it is on the oil pump. Do not use a socket to remove it, they tend to shatter.
