- E212 350 sport night edition estate , GLA 200 Sport Premium
W212 350 Sport 60k miles.
Noticed that the oil level is too high on the dipstick (awkward thing to use, how did they design that?)
Using my oil extraction pump I removed about 1 1/2 litres to get it down to the high mark.
Wonder whether its been overfilled or is it possible that diesel has got into the sump?
Most of my journeys are 30/40 miles before another cold start.
Thinking I might just suck out the lot and refill with fresh, just bought 20 litres of gen Mercedes oil from that place in S Wales for £70 on Ebay. I know that replacing the filter would be ideal and the car gets a full service from my local indy annually about 14K miles, but that's not due for about 6 months
As an aside, one of my number plate lights has gone intermittent, works if I give it a tap. Car is an estate, how do I get at the bulb, expect the connection needs a bit of WD40
