Possible to check Oil Level in Dash cluster?
Just wondering if there is some oil level sensor on these cars with M276 engine.
I read the manual and scrolled all the options in the dash and couldn’t find an option.
If there is no way to check oil level besides dipstick is there a light at least to alert when it’s low?
Very surprised to read in the manual where MB stated that 0.8L of oil burnt in 1000KM is considered normal.

No electronic oil level display to my knowledge.
Low oil warning is present, I had one experience with this. Add oil and the warning goes away.
Dipstick is the only way to check oil level.

Don't know how MB decides. But I know with my 2013 VW Touareg TDI, it did not come with a dipstick, just a cap to cap where the dipstick would normally go. But you must use vehicle big screen display to see the actual oil level. The dipstick tube is still used to vacuum out the old oil.
