With 26k miles you shouldn't be burning any oil. Did you notice anything on the driveway where you park, is anything leaking? I used to run Mobil1 in all my Benzes until I switched to Royal Purple and I never had any issues. What weight Mobil1 are you using???

yep i removed alot....i think almost a qt...so if i add half a qt thru the dipstick not the normal way i will be ok?? why should i add by the dipstick? or i should add thru the dipstick till it marks normal level? i checked today the oil by the cluster and it says add 1.5 lt ...should i add by the oil cap or the dipstick??

btw, isn't easier to measure with the dipstick and fill from the oil cap??? i don't need the computer to tell me how to much oil is in the engine when the most acurate & easiest way is looking at the dipstick..
