and at operating temperature, the engine
oil level has dropped to approximately the
minimum mark on the dipstick.

It may be that there is water in the engine
oil.
The engine oil has dropped to a critical
level.
The measuring system is malfunctioning.
When this occurs, the warning will first

come on intermittently and then stay on if
the oil level drops further.
Visually check for oil leaks. If no obvious oil
leaks are noted, drive to the nearest ser-
vice station where the engine oil should be
topped to the "full" mark on the dipstick
with an approved oil.
Possible solution
Have the engine oil checked.
Check the engine oil level
( page 238) and add oil as required.
If you must add engine oil frequently,
have the engine checked for possible
leaks.
Have the measuring system checked
by an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.

The engine oil level warnings should
not be ignored. Extended driving with
the symbol displayed could result in
serious engine damage that is not
covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited
