I just bought a used 2002 C320, but it didn't come with a dipstick, the seller said that's the way it is, but then how to know when to change the engine oil? Does anybody know about this model? Really no dipstick? How to check engine oil level on it?

Yep , no dipstick. I have 2004 C320 Wagon with 3.2L V6 . You check it electronically on dash info center. Also oil intervals set at 7600 or 10K I believe , you will need to check to make sure when you reset it. 8 quarts Mobil One. I change my oil once a year , of course I don't drive a lot. The service dipstick that technicians use can be purchased and there is a tube next to the transmission dipstick tube.

My dashboard is dark most of time and cannot read, occassionally it can read (1%) but even so I cannot just rely on the dashboard readings, I believe the dipstick is more actual, so I just took a photo under the hood, can you please spot where is the dipstick should be inserted? I have one from another car and can put it into this one, just need to figure out where to put it, if u can mark the above photo by circling the position to insert, it'll be great, thank you!

Remove Engine Cover , look where the yellow circle is. There will be 2 Tubes , 1 for trans. and 1 for engine. Not sure which one is which , you will have to see where they go. They have plastic covers on them. You Can press the red button on drivers side hood support strut to raise the hood straight up for better access.

That's right! It's the same spot as other models that has the stick, thank you!
