missing it, i think.

2006 cl500 has an oil dipstick. and has always had a dipstick. tranny has always had a dipstick. and it is impossible to mis-identify the two.

2006 cl55 has a tranny dipstick. over 53,000 miles, i have never received any msg that oil sump needs some refill. until now. and the msgs have been contradictory[still don't get a us market car calling for a litre].

personally, i think engines that rely solely on electronics are a mistaken engineering idea.

a better idea, my 2008 porsche cayenne turbo has an electronic sensor and a dipstick.

my question, if no dipstick was fitted, why was an oil dipstick tube fitted to the allfalterbach engine?
