How to check the oil level per MB



1: Oil level on a cold engine



2: Oil level by idling until the coolant reached 82 C



3: Oil level at/near operating temp



Oil level was checked about 30 seconds after turning off the ignition.
Oil change was performed 1500 miles ago.

 

this engine i swear to the most bipolar for checking oil level...

Mine via the wis document, shows low oil, operating temp shows middle ( sometimes full) , and sitting cold, well over high.

on my friends car, to get from low to full, took almost 2 quarts, yet wis document says its 1 quart from low to full.

My recent procedure has been, operating temp and let sit for 15 mins..

 

True that, it took me some getting use to.

 

May have more to do with how much has drained back to the reserve than the temp of the oil.
