Oil quality sensor
Is there is sensor in a GLE43 that will warn you if the oil becomes degraded? I bought a used GLE43 ‘19 50k and the oil looked ok, but I am worried that they might have cut corners. I guess it would it hurt just to change it early with some Mobile1.

Yes, the Mercedes GLE43, like many modern vehicles, is equipped with a sensor system that monitors the condition of the engine oil. If the oil becomes degraded or if there's a significant issue with the oil level or quality, the car's onboard computer system will trigger a warning light on the dashboard. However, it's always a good practice to regularly check the oil condition manually and adhere to the recommended oil change intervals. If you're concerned about the current state of the oil, especially considering the car is used, changing it early with a high-quality oil like Mobil 1 is a sensible precaution. This ensures your engine is running with optimal lubrication and can help in maintaining the vehicle's health.

Well, I was wrong! After @progonat's post above, I did some digging and came across this old M-B documentation (see attachment), which references "oil level, temperature and quality."
I'm glad to know this functionality exists!

One of the "pros" of owning a used car dealership is the ability to acquire cars and drive them indefinitely, without ever having to pay sales tax.
