A Prius because I'm green
Welcome to the family and enjoy in health. Like others have said while the car is off and cool just cycle through the dash menu to measure your oil. Or if you want to be more technical like I am just go into dyno mode and it will tell you how many quarts are in your car. They didn't forget a dipstick so you have to go into the dealer, they just made it a lot easier so those horny gas attendants can't sucker you into taking a look under your bonnet

I just went through the battery visit workshop indicator you have. It can be about four things from what I've been able to discern from the guys here on MBWorld.
1) Main battery in the trunk
2) Accessory battery under the hood
3) Alternator
4) Voltage Regulator
The first time I went through this last year it was the main battery. The second time about a week or two ago, it was the accessory battery, which was only 9 months old (read: 10.33V). Checking the main battery also confirmed it was good and the alternator was doing its' job. Make sure to check the voltages before you change batteries out. Like you said, no sense in changing things out and wasting money.

Very true. My wife had her monthly "dinner w/ the girls" last night and asked if she could take my car (hers is a company issued Ford Escape). I must admit, it was quite hot seeing her drive away in my car as she gave it a little gas out of the neighborhood.

How about we get some people from SoCal together, and some people from NM together? Two rallies meeting somewhere in AZ? We'll hang out and drive for a day, pick a cool hotel for everyone to stay at. At least then I'll have the chance to prove that I can walk the walk

Easy boyz! I can walk the walk, thanks a million for the suggestions about the car, the battery has been put in and the sensor will be put in tomorrow. So considering ALL this work I have had to do on the car since I bought it, its been getting fixed longer than I have had it. So I promise as soon as I get the car back, pics will be posted!

Don't want a bikini pic..
but, the battery error could be the front, rear or both. Pull off the cover under hood.. the little battery is easy to get to. Date should be on top. If it says 2003 (or 2002), replace it..
