Hi,
Oil level is via the cluster, it tells you how much to add, check when cold, only add half the amount then retest.
If you check the actual message will tell you how many litres to add to reach full, it won't tell you how many litres remain.
If you wait for the message to pop up in the display, it will advise adding 1/2ltr or 1ltr when next refuelling depending how low it's got.
As Andy advises add half whatever it suggests and recheck. It can be very bad for the engine and CATs if you over-fill
The handbook actually says ..
"When checking the oil level -
the vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine at operating temperature,
the vehicle must have been
stationary for at least 5 minutes with
the engine turned off
with the engine not at operating temperature
yet, the vehicle must have
been stationary for at least 30 minutes
with the engine turned off"
8 to 8.5 Litres is correct.

Won't add any until I get the top up with 0.5 litres message lol.
Have any 55K owners received the top up oil message. I would have thought once it gets about 1 litre low it will trigger the top up message ��
Purchased a Dipstick suitable for the w211 e55 so will check when receive it.
If it's like the MB workshop dipstick, it'll have a scale marked on it but you'll need the WIS table to decipher it...
