Engine oil level check inoperative
Anyone else get this message when trying to access the oil level check feature?
I've let the engine cool. I tried to perform the check before starting the car. Nothing seems to work.

For the onboard computer check it needs to be warm/normal temp, at idle, and on a level surface.
It also measures it while driving and can take up to 30 min.

I know this is going to sound like heresy, but I wouldn't worry about it until the idiot light comes on telling you you're one quart low, and then add 1 qt! Keep a quart in the trunk for peace of mind. If M-B really wanted you to be able to check the oil level, they'd have installed a dipstick.
