Drive to warm the car, park it for five (I do that while I'm getting gas), then check the level.

That much oil?

Wow- that's a lot of oil - what you cooking in it? Although nowadays with the quality of mercs nothing surprises me. I'm surprised it doesn't ask you to tow a petrol station along with it as well for fuel
