Reduce engine OIL level
hello
it happened to me twice in different trips :Reduce engine OIL level:
and I was running over 130-140 km/h for maybe half an hour
only in these conditions it says oil level too high
and after 5 minutes it disappears
the first time I have removed almost half a liter just to be sure, and happened again
is it the sensor? or something else?
thanks

I have no knowledge of diesel vehicles.......may be something unique. But my gas-based 2003 E500 would sometimes get the warning light that the oil was too full when I was driving at high speed, around 65 - 70 mph. This was after an oil/filter change at the MB Dealer. Problem was the shop tech put 9 quarts oil when the vehicle specs require 8 1/2 quarts. So, they had to remove excess oil. This happened to me twice. So now I always have the service rep place a notice on the service order to only put 8 1/2 quarts into the vehicle........no more problems with warning lights. Apparently many other Mercedes take 9 quarts of oil and the mechanics get lazy assuming my vehicle also uses 9 quarts. This is really sloppy work that we pay big bucks for.
