Oil Dipstick???
Hey guys several months months ago I purchased my first Mercedes-Benz it's a 2008 C350 I really love this car several days ago I came across a good deal on a 2003 E500 from a family member the car has been sitting for a lil while and I was doing general inspection of the fluids on the E500 and I had the hardest time finding the engine oil dipstick I found the trans. dipstick but no engine oil dipstick??? I even inspected my C350 I found the trans. dipstick but no engine oil dipstick??? i'm kinda lost now and here is my question on a 2003 E500 and 2008 C350 how do you check the engine oil? is there a dipstick? i'm kinda worried because the E500 was sitting up for a year and some change it may be low on engine oil and i wanted to inspect before driving across Texas any advice would be appreciated thx

ok I got a few question's about the 2003 E500 and the 2008 C350 on the E500 I found this online https://www.genuinemercedesparts.com...iagram=5717275 item #7,8 is the dipstick and dipstick tube for this year and model can a dipstick and dipstick tube be install in this location? what is covering this area right now to prevent the installation of one? can i buy and install a trans. dipstick? on the 2008 it trips me out to see the engine oil dipstick so far back so how does anyone check how much trans fluid is in their trans. is it a level sensor? and if there is no fill tube how do you refill after a trans. service?

On the 350 for trans you pump the fluid into transmission through the drain plug in bottom of pan, there is a tube that goes about 1.5" above bottom of pan, you fill it up cold then start car, fluid begins to drip out. Once trans reaches approx 39*c you plug the drain plug back in and thats that
