OIL ABOVE MAX LEVEL ALERT!!!!
Hello everyone,
I'm new here and very happy to be part of the forum.
I have been having weird problems lately with my E430:
I'm having an alert on my dashboard : oil above max level.
I was going 60 mph (90 km/h), been driving for 15 miles then this alarm came on. when I cancel the alarm, then its ok. This has happened to me 2 times. first time, I had the car towed to a Mercedes dealer in Miami and they looked at it, found nothing so they took some oil out. 2 weeks after, I had the same alarm again!!
Any ideas what is causing this?

Out Of Control!!
Assuming the dip stick level is indicating full you then have a faulty oil level sensor-----if the dip stick indicates below full then you have a bad oil level sensor.
To view the oil level remove the dipstick and without your sun glasses on look at the bottom portion of the stick----wada you see----if you see nothing that could indicate oil level -----sell the car and use Uber.
