E550 4MATIC,,CHECK OIL LEVEL NEXT FUEL STOP,,,
 
Was running about 85 for a bit,,msg appears saying to check oil level..engine oil temp was fine..Do these cars burn oil? MY 3 prior E 350s never ever did that,,This E550 is a CPO,,awesome car,,now has 30k miles....Also advise proper location for the dipstick please.

Should be normal to consume 1-2 liters of oil before every 10,000 mile oil change... v8 should definitely consume more than a 350... there should definitely be an oil stick between the engine and firewall, probably closer to the driver side..Should be bright orange..

When you get this message add a quart of oil and you'll be good to go. That is what the manual advises.

Thanks bros,,I'm gonna top off the oil👌

Mine loses some between changes and gets down to the min line. Not enough to trigger the dash warning though. Just check the level about once every 4-6 weeks now that you know where the dipstick is. Mine has a blue top and is at the middle rear of the engine..

Yes found it easy,,blue stick driver side,,Amazon sent me 6 QTS Mobil 1 ,,overnite..Good to go..Level was midway in the safe range,,,so I guess I'll just drop the whole quart and beat it hard on the way to work.😈🇺🇸thanks mates.

I was getting this notification after maybe couple thousand miles after i did an oil change. So couple months ago i decided to wash my engine bay.. and after a closer look i found my reason... i had an oil leak from oil cooler and oil filter housing.
i said that with a point that check around your engine for oil spots , just in case. Its been about 2 weeks now... so far so good. Hopefully wont see that message again.
just a little story.

p.s. at first i did think that the engine is just burning some oil and that is fine... but things arent so simple sometimes.
