ok,

Ive done a fair bit of searching but nothing definitive as how to read this tool for my particular car.. anyone know what are the readings are im looking for when using a mb part # 120 589 07 21 00 on a 2003 E500 W211? Im preparing to do an oil change and would like to have an extra bit of piece of mind there is adequate oil in before/after I run her. Getting ready to try out my new MityVac MV7201

Also my manual says 8 qts but ive seen alot of posts saying that it is really 8.5 qt/8 L..

thanks for the help guys!!!

suction all the oil, change the filter use only the Fleece filter from Mann or MB add 8 qts Mobile 1 0w40 Eur. Formula and drive on. I drove my 03 E500 that way 131,000 miles never an issue.

I have the fleece filter and all the other goodies but the oil, Most of it came with the car but the dipstick I still dont have any idea how to use without some sort of specified level for my specific car, i know it fits a bunch of other vehicles.. Wally world has the best prices btw for anyone looking for mobil 1 0w40.. .. 24$ for a 5 qt jug..

If you have a dip change the oil / filter add 8 qts run check for leaks wait 15 min then use your dip stick and verify the full level.

Well I have a dip made for a bunch of models including mine, it didnt come from the factory, its one of the service shop guys the dealers use. Its in MM`s.. :-/

Shop tool is same for all engines, but the levels corresponding to each of them are different. It is useful if trying to determent oil consumption but for oil change I will simply extract all the oil and fill accordingly. My car takes 8 quarts (7.5 liters) and after 11500 miles this year I extracted 7.3 liters, and is been this way ever since I start doing my oil changes four years ago.
