Thanks for the reply!! How do I know the amount of fluid (quart capacity) necessary, is there a measuring device to know I have achieved the correct level? I heard there is an oil dip-stick tube and checking rod available to purchase and install, but I have no idea where to get these items if they indeed exist. Further, you mentioned the right fluid; is this a MB oil only? I'm a nut about proper and frequent PM's. Thank you.
