OIL LEVEL OK, PERF SERVICE ON TIME (if you performed a proper servicing and reset the FSS).
But there was always a dipstick to check oil quality/capacity.

These cars don't have FSS, FSS has been dead for a long time. The new maintaince system seems to be a lot better, these cars are pretty smart. They seem to call for service about when its due, lots of them get there first oil changes at a lot less then the 13k mile spec thats for sure. Some guys at MBworld were finding there cars were calling for service in as little as 3,500 miles!
Unlike FSS the new system adapts to your driving style, ie if you do a lot of around town driving it will cut everything short.
