How to Check the Oil Level in a Mercedes Sprinter W906

Model: Mercedes Sprinter MK 2, W906 - Years 2006-2018
Part: Engine oil

In this video, you can see how to check the engine oil status on a Mercedes Sprinter W906. You will not check it using the usual dipstick from the engine bay (this dipstick exists, but it is for professionals only), but through the vehicle's display. Turn on the ignition and then press the button located on the left above the speedometer, which has an "M" on it. Hold it for a few seconds until the oil icon appears on the left. At the same time, flashing lines will appear until "ok" shows up, confirming that the level is fine, or an error message will indicate that you need to check the level.
