so you dont feel i should be alarmed about a possible qt loss in 9000 miles? That computer is so sensitive. I remember from filling it the first time I put 6 qts in and it told me to reduce oil by .2 qts. the system requires 5.8 qts. Mercedes told me that they recommend adding only a half qt when it say to add 1qt??
My only other issue with the car is a hard downshift occasionally from 2nd to 1st. It doesnt always do it and it kinda seems to depend on how much brake im applying. Mercedes here in colorado tested it for me and said it was not a problem. That all the shift points were with tolerances. If seen alot of posts on that issue.
