Can not find my manual and don't see it up in the stickies nor can find any Info on YT. It's a 2014 E63s and don't see any dipstick either.
Tons of Info on oil change and resetting the service light but nothing W212 specific
Thanks

No worries--- figured it out

So are you keeping it a secret? How about a clue.

2014 S63 has a dipstick but E63 with same motor doesn't ????

Faast

I thought I found the dipstick on the driver side towards the firewall in Blue color but the manual says on the passenger side, may be not model specific.
So can anyone please post a picture of the dipstick location and or the cluster way of checking the oil?
Whats the proper way of checking the oil, car warmed up, running or what?
Thanks

That's your oil dipstick ... drivers side by firewall

TripleDown

There is only one dipstick and nothing smells like motor oil, except motor oil. Pretty sure these transmissions dont have a dipstick from the top. Filling them is done through a one-way rubber valve in the trans pan with pressure.

Pull it - it's probably what you are looking for.

Do you check the oil level with motor running or with warm temp? In Porsche's you need to do it engine running?

PeterUbers

if it's a cold engine - the oil dipstick level for me is low or dry; after I let it run about two minutes and re check it's at the appropriate level

If it is the first pull after driving (say right after turning of engine or been sitting), it being dry could be due to the airtight seal, it is a common characteristic of MB engines and their dipsticks, just do another pull and you will see oil even if it is cold. That said, vehicles with dry sump also requires a different way of measuring.

good to know - thank you
