The light on the cluster indicates LOW LEVEL of OIL, not oil pressure. The oil level sensor is located in the oil pan.
The pressure is indicated by a needle, and its readings are 1, 2 and 3 bars. They are on the instrument cluster (opposite to the temperature gauge). The pressure sensor is located by the oil filter.

The Model 460 does not have an oil pressure gauge, only an idiot light. When it went on last year, the oil level was fine, but the bearings failed, leading me to believe the oil light shows pressure, and when it goes red this means the bearings are not getting pressurised oil.
Any MB mechanics out there who can provide a technical perspective?
