Checking the engine oil level in a Mercedes C-Class is a task that can be performed using the onboard computer, unlike the usual manual method used in most cars. To carry out this operation, first, turn on the ignition.

Then, press the button three times to reset the onboard computer (this is the small button on the left side of the dashboard, protruding from the glass covering the dashboard). At this point, press the top left button of the four buttons located to the left of the steering wheel (as shown in the images).

Hold the button until the display shows the message indicating the engine oil level. Then, turn the key to the right and wait for the display to show the amount of oil present in the engine.

That's it.
