Practical hints
What to do if …?
When the message “ Check Engine Oil Level
at Next Refueling ” (all models except S 600
and S 65 AMG) or “ Check Engine Oil Level
(Add 1 quart). (Canada: 1 Liter )” (S 600
and S 65 AMG) appears while the engine is
running and at operating temperature, the
engine oil level has dropped to approxi-
mately the minimum level.
When this occurs, the warning is at first in-
termittent and then remains on if the oil
level drops further.
Visually check for oil leaks. If there are no
obvious oil leaks, drive to the nearest ser-
vice station to refill engine oil to the re-
quired level with an approved oil.
For information on approved engine oils,
refer to the Factory Approved Service
Products pamphlet (USA only) or contact
an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
