  • The engine oil should be at max if you check it before you start your car in the morning (or when it is completely cold). The heat of the motor doesn't really matter, it's just that when you've driven it, a lot of oil will be in the channels and on the camshafts and really allover in the engine itself. The dip stick goes into your oil pan which means that if you are driving, there will be less oil in the pan and more in the engine. When it's cold, most of the oil will have fallen back.

  • @naveed5391 My post didn't seem to post. I stand corrected, looking at the 5th Gear vid looks like best to check when it's a little warm.

  • @naveed5391 Cool as far as I'm aware or it will be to hot to take the cap off.

  • i wana ask that should the oil be checked in cool engine like early in morning or after starting the car for few mints...?

  • nice 

  • If you were Stephen Hawking you can't do it and probably you don't even need to.

  • @EchoPark69 In a thought experiment.

  • wow cool, i have the sme engine

  • Also Mercedes don't have dipsticks, you have to get it serviced by Mercedes, that way they make more money!
