Hi,
I did an oil and oil filter change on my 2003 CLK320 M112. Drained the oil out via the sump bolt.
I carefully measured and poured exactly 8.0 Litres into the engine which is the stated capacity when replacing the filter.
Ran the car around the block and all is good.
The basic display says the oil level is ok.
The MFD service display says the oil level is at 7.2 Litres.
So my questions are...Is the MFD saying 7.2 L because 0.8l is held up in the oil filter etc?
If I put another 0.8l into the engine it would then be overfilled,correct?
Does this mean that on the M112 we should be aiming for a level of 7.2l on the MFD, because this means we actually have 8.0l in the engine?
If so ,this could be a reason as to why overfilling seems to occur quite often.
