Hi folks,

This car comes without an oil dipstick, but seems to have a slot for one.

Is it possible to obtain a dipstick which will allow me to check oil level manually, rather than via the computer.

If positive, please advise a part number and possible source.

Many thanks,
Mike

E200? 4 cylinder? Are you in Germany?

There is a service tool that you are not supposed to leave in, and actually cannot leave in because it is too long. You might find the part number if do a bit of searching but not all MB shops sell service tools for customers.

I live in Ireland. E200K, 4 cylinder yes

A good car, runs fast enough, spends less fuel and leaves less greenhouse gasses so that US members don't have to change their cars when others take care of the world.

I guess I just prefer the traditional method - I'd trust the dipstick a bit more than a computer readout.

Is there really no product available aside from a service dipstick for dealers?

Thanks for the help.
