i dont know how to post the picture, but click on the link and it will have a pict of my engine bay. i marked where the oil dipstick is, but theres one problem..only a benz mechanic can tell you how much oil there is![smash](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smashfreak.gif)
i cant wait for my brother to come home so i can see the s600's dipstick (probably the same).

1998 S500
My understanding is that there is no tranny dip-stick as the transmission is a "fill-for-life" design. A wonderful idea but I would sure like to see for myself. I have the same situation on my '98 S500. I have 120K miles on my car and the transmission seems to be working fine. I'm hoping that there is plenty of life left!

Yes, the S600 is the same (at least my 1997 model is).
