The engine oil level can be checked by either the oil
dipstick or via the multifunction display in the
instrument cluster, see page 154.
Wipe the oil dipstick clean prior to checking the engine
oil level. Fully insert dipstick in tube, and remove after
three seconds to obtain accurate reading.
The oil level must be between the lower
mark (min) and the upper mark (max)
on the oil dipstick.
Unscrew the oil filler cap and add oil carefully if you
need to top up the oil.
CL 500 and CL 55 AMG:
Fil l qua ntity between u pper a nd l owe r dipstick ma rking
level is approximately 2.1 US qt (2.0 l).

Follow the message appearing on the engine oil level
indicator display (page 154) as to quantity to be added.

an engine oil level display appears on the multifunction
display when the engine is running.

have your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center check the
transmission fluid level.
