I have a 2003 CL55 and have been getting a constant low oil level message. It got quite annoying so I dropped the pan and changed the sensor today. I filled the car with oil and a new filter. It is at the exact full mark. This is after 3 restarts and a five minute time period for the oil to return to the pan.

I went and drove the car for ten minutes and the low oil level came back on. I noticed it does not do it as often, but it still is giving me a low oil reading when it should not. I'm getting quite frustrated with this. I have access to a STAR tool. Is there anything that can be done to "adjust" the reading via the ecu?

Thts weird I had the same exact issue. I got irritated and just changed the sensor. Where did you buy your sensor from? It would be very annoying if you bought a malfunctioning new sensor also. Once I changed the sensor I haven't seen that annoying red danger on my display.

yah only way to get rid of that you gotta change your sensor when you change your oil... happened to me and never after i replaced

You don't need to drop the oil pan to change the sensor. Hopefully you used a new oem MB part.

Use SDS and go into Control unit adaptations in the ME-SFI, within there, be sure that the correct engine type is set in the sub menus. sometimes programming will go away and it will shop up as unspecified. Just be sure its 113k in USA. Its worth a look!

On the CL55 you must drop the pan.
Dave I will try that. Thank you.

it is in the same location as a w211 e class.

I believe you are mistaken. They are different. The level sensor on a CL is a two piece contraption. It has 4 bolts that hold the sensor in, and they are in the crank case.

The E55 is held in by a couple bolts on the side of the block from what I understand.

I did use a new MB part.

I'm going to give Dave's advice a shot tomorrow using Shardul's supplied tool. I hope something happened there. Cars are such a pain in the *** some times.

Thanks to both you guys.
