Will it say if you have put to much engine oil in the instrument display?
When you are checking the oil level while sitting in the car and let`s say you have put in to much oil like half a liter willl it say in the text on the on the gauges panel/instrument pane that you have overfilled?
I wish you could get a dipststick for the engine oil that is not only to be used to check the oil level but that can be left in the dipstick tube.
Guys, I didn't want to rely on a sensor to tell me that my oil level is low, so I filled my engine with the specified capacity of 7.9 quarts. Then calibrated a "modified" dipstick to know where the oil level is! Done deal.! No worries anymore!
Brother Saint, I didn't know that..! Perhaps in my next R230!
What I did, I found in a junk yard an old Mercedes E-430. Took the dipstick for $5.00. Then when I filled the engine during an oil change, used a wire and measured the right oil level....then figured my junk dipstick was 2" shorter...So I cut it near the top, crimped a small SS tubing in both ends to produce the right depth and bingo!
