What's the trick on the 05 to check exact oil level?

On my '01' C240 there is a trick (a sequence of pushes of the buttons) of the display computer to read the exact oil level.

How do you do this on the '05' model?

It is possible to purchase a MB Shop Dipstick Tool, as shown in my 9/1/04 post.

I purchased a dip stick from MB for my C240 2001 and it also fits and works nicely with my 05 4Matic

It is MB part number 111-010-11-72 and only cost $16.88 Cdn. You will have to note yourself the level on the stick as it's not calibrated for this engine but it fits perfectly and does the job.

My original question refers to an operation on the 2001 dash computer which produced a readout on the dash as to the exact amount of oil present in the crankcase. I would like to find the sequence for the 05.

What I am looking for was called "Dyno mode" and was described by MB-Bob here
