I wanted to check the oil on my 2022 GLC43 AMG SUV. The manual does NOT do a good job showing the location of the dipstick or even the existence of a dipstick on this car. The only thing that "looks" like it might be the dipstick is the photo below. But it has "A27617 72" on it and when I Google it, it says it's a transmission dipstick. "IF there is an oil dipstick, can anyone help me locate it or show a photo of it? I'm inclined to think there isn't one but there isn't an option to check it in any of the "service menus" either.
Thanks in advance for any help!

That is the oil dipstick, there is no transmission dipstick on your car.

Thanks! It was very hard to get out. When I was first trying, I didn't want to break it. After you replied I figured, "if it's the dip stick, it's gotta come out" and it did but it was very HARD to pull it out.
Thanks again!

There is a vacuum (o-ring on the dipstick seals the tube) so use a little more force, when you first pull it out, don't be surprised it is dry because of that vacuum, give it a wipe either way slowly put it back in then pull it out again then check the reading. I use it all the time every couple of weeks on my 2017 C 43 sedan, we have the same engine, I also use it when DIYing my oil change way better than the digital ones that MB started using again on the newer models like their inline 6 and newer inline 4. Before checking the engine oil level, make sure the basics such as leveled ground, oil warm and then vehicle is off for 10 minutes, etc.

That explains it. Thanks, you’ve been a great help.
