| Mercedes actually state that you should use the dashboard method which relies on oil temperature being at a certain value for accurate readings. Personally I think the dipstick method is safer & more accurate. Sensors can go wrong 2 marks on a dipstick cannot. Also on the B class you have to go into the correct mode to get the oil level electronically with the Scenic it automatically showed the level prior to startup which was a much better method as you could see before each journey if the oil level was low. |
