S600 Oil Level Sensor Reading Wrong?
Did my own oil change last weekend, drained it via the crankcase plug under the car. Filled it back up with 9.5 qts of oil (as the manual says). Get home, push the button to measure the oil... "add 1.5 qts at next stop". WTF? Nothing is leaking, I'm not burning any... So I add what I had left (0.5 qt) and yet it's STILL calling for an additional 1.5 qts. At this point I stopped pouring oil in and ordered a dipstick to see what's up. I ran a (clean) transmission fluid dipstick in there and it for sure had oil in it.
Yes, I was parked on level ground. Yes, I waited a few min after shutting it off.
Any help would be appreciated!
thanks

Is there some way to reset or recalibrate it?
