No Dip Stick ?
The CL600 does NOT come with a dip stick.
Interestingly enough the CL500 and CL55 do.
The manual confirms this fact.
It says use the Flex service system to check the oil.
I asked the dealer and the said that they have a "special"
$400 dip stick for the car.
Doe anyone besides me feel uncomfortable about having a car with a oil dipstick?

Mercedes is moving away from a dipstick in the new line of engines I am told. I wonder if the SL55 has a dipstick.
The computer is accrurate, however, as with most modern electronics, I still enjoy the 'old' reliable method of oil checking.
$400 for the shop dipstick !?!?!? Wow ! Is it 24k Gold plated ?

All of them, as much as I can...
No dipstick but available
I think it's $45 for a dipstick.
Caution, my MB wrench says the electronic/diagnostic system and display for oil level is good but tells you only when it's low; not when it's overfilled. He has seen quite a number of overfilled crankcases, often resulting in sluggish performance and a "check engine" warning.
