You don't have one...none of us do. Get one on Ebay, use it as a tool...don't leave it in.

What fluid level are you trying to check---oil or transmission?

If you are trying to check the transmission fluid----why??

Enjoy the games!!

Our cars don't have a transmission dipstick, you require a special tool to check it.

Our transmissions we're boasted to be "sealed for life" and never needed a change or check, but in 2004 Mercedes Benz said to have your transmission serviced at 39k miles and again at a higher mileage.
