How to Check the Oil Level on Mercedes Vehicles with MBUX System

Model: Mercedes Mercedes Various
Part: Onboard computer

In this video, you will see how to check the engine oil level on a Mercedes vehicle with the MBUX (Mercedes Benz User Experience) system, which is a digital screen that also displays technical data, with voice command. Go to "menu/maintenance/oil level". The system shows a graduated bar: it does not indicate how many litres are missing, but only an approximate estimate. To get exact data (e.g., missing 1.3 litres), you need to unlock the "workshop" menu: press and hold the "up arrow" button, within 1 second also press the "ok" button, and keep both pressed for 5 seconds. Now in the "assistance" menu, you will also find "workshop/vehicle data/oil level": you will see exactly how many litres the engine has and how much to top up "+1L for maximum".
