My 2021 GLE63S was delivered from the dealer as a CPO with 5,100 miles and the oil almost 1 qt too high! Their tech had changed it as part of the certification process. I found out when the warning dialog box came up just a mile after starting out on my first drive. The manual(s) do not state how much oil to put in after a filter replacement & drain.

Exactly. All these techs do is stick a bulk feed gun into the fill hole and hammer in the stipulated capacity. This is why I don't take my vehicles to outside sources for PMs and this is also why I wish the vehicles had dipsticks as a redundant measure to immediately ascertain levels/avoid overfilling/partial (messy) draining.
