24' GLB 250 - Check Engine Oil Level
Hi Team.
I got a warning today on my GLB250 about Check Engine Oil Level at Next Refueling (Add 1 Quart). 1st time getting that message.. never on my 4years with '21 GLB 250. I have only 9k miles on it..Leased the car in November 2024. There are no leaks that I can see.. no oil in the floor etc.. Can I be concerned about it? I know I need to schedule my 1st A service as the car says Service A due in 4 days.. Do I need to add 1 Quart to it asap? Can I drive the car even with that warning?
Not even sure which oil I need to use for it. Is there an oil stick available to manually measure the oil?

I got Mobil 1 (1qt) ESPx2 0W-20 with an MB spec of 229.71. Planning to let the card idle for like 20 minutes to take a reading again... to see if it is still showing the Engine Level on MIN... before pouring the 1QT I got from Walmart.

You have probably figured out that there is no dipstick. Make sure you are level and the oil is up to operating temperature, although I think the GLB250 will give a warning if either of these are out of range. If the detected oil level was serious, it would have given a stronger warning than check at next refueling. Most dealers have an express service where you can drive in without an appointment for A Service. If you get in early they can usually be done in 45 minutes to an hour.

The best way to see for a leak is to take out the under liner (10 X 8mm bolts)...I did this and found a leak...at 60,000KM... From Filter housing and directly drip on the oil pan sensor/connector... 4.5 hours job at dealer fortunately under warranty (should be around 1500$) !!

just looking
Yes. I tried the reading with the car as level as possible.. and the reading came back with the same message of adding 1QT and in MIN. I went ahead and added the 1QT of Mobil 1 and did another reading and now the warning is no longer displayed and it is back to MAX. I re-check to be sure there was no leak and I didn't see one... Is it normal for a car to consume that much Oil in 8900 miles in 7 months? I don't drive like crazy... just regular driving, mostly driving in the city with a lot of stop and go, to Car maintenance. Surprised that with the '21 GLB250 I never got that message in the 4 years I had the car and of course afraid that there is a leak somewhere. I will schedule Service A soon and will pass the info to my advisor.
