Today, let's go through the steps to check the engine oil level and add oil on the Mercedes SL. First, open the hood by pulling the lever from inside; then, pull the dipstick located at the top of the engine compartment, cleaning it with a soft, clean cloth to check the engine oil level as shown in the video.

At this point, add oil if necessary by unscrewing the filler cap (using the same type of engine oil that is already in the engine); make sure the oil level is at the maximum mark!
