Mercedes-Benz S350L 6-cylinder engine requires approximately 5.8 liters of engine oil. Oil dipstick markings: There are two marks on the oil dipstick, one is the maximum level and the other is the minimum level. The normal oil level should not exceed the maximum mark nor fall below the minimum mark. The oil level between these two marks is considered normal. Method for checking engine oil: After adding oil, start the vehicle and then check the oil level 3 minutes after turning off the engine. This is because when changing the engine oil, the oil filter also needs to be replaced. The new oil filter initially contains no oil, and starting the vehicle allows oil to flow into the filter. Waiting 3 minutes after turning off the engine ensures the oil has drained back into the oil pan, providing a more accurate reading. Remember not to check the oil level on a slope, as the tilted position of the vehicle causes the oil in the pan to tilt as well, resulting in an inaccurate measurement.
