Check oil level
at next gas station
When the message Check oil level at
next gas station appears while the en-
gine is running and at operating tempera-
ture, the engine oil level has dropped to
approximately the minimum level.
When this occurs, the warning will first
come on intermittently and then stay on if
the oil level drops further.
Possible cause/consequence
The engine oil has dropped to a critical
level.
Visually check for oil leaks. If no obvious oil
leaks are noted, drive to the nearest
service station where the engine oil should
be topped to the required level with an
approved oil specified in the Factory
Approved Service Products pamphlet.
Practical hints
What to do if ...
Suggested solution
Check the engine oil level
( page 299) and add oil as required
( page 300).
If you must add engine oil frequently,
have the engine checked for possible
leaks.
!
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
Warranty.
