Based off of what I know that is the situation. Mercedes don't come with dipsticks to do maintenance you have to purchase them or have a certified mechanic do the work. What course of action should be taken?

Then have your bro read the manual!!

That is what I advised him to do. Didn't know if he should get it flushed. I appreciate your insight brother.
