Handbook's as clear as mud Which oil grade for an '06 CLS 500 with the M113 5.0 V8? I looked back through old service records that the previous owner kept & that gave no clear result, it's had 5w-30, 0w-40 & 5w-40. Also, is the red topped dipstick in the pic at the rear of the engine for the engine or the transmission? I followed it down but couldn't see where it went. On my previous Merc, a W211, there wasn't a dipstick as you checked it via the dash. I know the CLS has that feature too but wondered what the red topped dipstick was for as it only makes a vague reference to it in the handbook & shows the oil dipstick in a 350 engine bay, which is in the same place.
