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..

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..

2010 e550 p2
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.
