Right, the tube is there along with a cap from MB.
I have plenty of wire laying around so I just used a length of #10AWG stranded wire with a wrap of electrical tape at the top and bottom of the wire to show me where to stop inserting the wire into the tube and the other to show where the FULL level should be. Stiff but flexible and the insulation makes it slide in and out smooth without fear of getting hung up on anything. Put the new "DipStick" in the roll cab drawer with the oil filter wrenches so that I don't think it's a scrap piece of wire and toss it away.

Definitely time for a dipstick. Seems they're relatively cheap on Fleabay.
This morning, cold engine.
Level at 0, but still thinks it only needs 4L to bring it to max.
