This may seem a really stupid question.
I Always like to check fluid levels etc on my car W124 and regularly perform oil changes myslef.
But i have now gone and purchased an approved used W220 (04).
So as i was becoming familiar with the engine I pulled the dipstick to find its only a short red plug - not a dipstick at all with the usual min - max marks.
How on earth do I use this to check the oil level. Can i purchase a proper dipstick?

Any advice will be appreciated.
