- E55k AMG Sold / S211 E320 CDI I6 W212 E63 6.2 N/A saloon.
Just curious to what owners prefer. The manual check using the dipstick, or the digital check via the instrument cluster.
Having had the E55k I had the digital check option. As well as the manual workshop dipstick tool. That I also used to use.
Now I only have the manual oil level check option with the dipstick on my E63 6.2
The S211 e320 CDI has the digital option on our car. The digital check is much more straight forward and if sensors are all working correctly is perfect, but there is always that fear they could fail at some point.
I personally like the both options, but the digital check is a lot easier it has to be said.
It's also strange that the cars with a manual check dipstick option can't be checked via the instrument cluster as a back up method if you like.
