reading around here i see a lot of reply saying the CL55 does not have an oil dip stick ?
then why does my 04 CL55 amg have one here ( front passenger side )? is it just an AMG feature ? pulled it and o ya i am changing my oil today !!! i also see the trans one back passenger side it says do not remove work shop only .

That is a provision for the shop to insert their dip stick to measure the oil. You don't get one.

My 2003 CL55 has a dipstick as OEM delivered as well.

Maybe I'm confusing it with the V12 because I know that my CL65 doesn't have one...

Oil change was very easy , took me about 45min having never done it before on this car .

why does the cap on the trans tube say do not remove ( work shop only )
is there a dipstick attached to the cap ? why cant you just pull it out ?
i want to service my trans so any info or a DIY link would be cool .

The trans tube/fill top cap is a locking / sealing device only. You break the pin to remove it which means you need to buy another plastic replacement cap which only come in RED. This is how the service center knows you've been in there.

There is no dip stick for the trans fluid included. There is only a shop tool for measuring the tranny fluid level.

Depending on the year the tranny tube cap can be a one-time or multiple use cap which can removed/ reinserted as needed.
