Here are the specific steps to check the engine oil level in a 2019 Mercedes-Benz E300L: 1. First, insert the key into the ignition. 2. Depress the brake pedal. 3. Press the one-touch start button to start the engine. 4. Run the engine until it reaches the normal operating temperature of 90 degrees. 5. Press the one-touch start button to turn off the engine. 6. Pull the hood release lever to open the front hood. 7. Remove the oil dipstick, wipe it clean, and reinsert it back into its original position. 8. Pull out the oil dipstick again to check the oil level. (The standard oil level is exactly in the middle between the upper and lower marks.)

As the owner of a 2019 Mercedes-Benz E300L, checking the oil level is quite straightforward. First, park the car on level ground and turn off the engine. Wait about 10 minutes after the engine is off to let it cool down. Then, without even opening the hood, you can operate it directly through the control buttons on the left side of the steering wheel—press and hold the OK button to enter the menu, scroll to the vehicle settings option, where there's an oil check section. Press the button, and it displays the current oil level. An icon will pop up on the screen, indicating whether it's normal, low, or needs topping up. If it shows 'Low,' it means you need to add some oil. I usually check it regularly, about once a month, to avoid any major issues like engine damage from oil starvation. Don't check it when the engine is hot, as the reading won't be accurate and you might burn your hands—safety and peace of mind are key.

As a loyal Mercedes-Benz fan, the electronic oil system in the E300L is designed with great intelligence. After parking and turning off the engine, wait a few minutes, then select the oil check function in the car menu—it automatically diagnoses and displays the precise oil level. The key is to ensure the engine is cold and the ground is level before each check to get reliable readings. Don't forget to use Mercedes-recommended full synthetic oil, such as 5W-40 or equivalent specifications, when topping up, as using other types may affect system accuracy. Personally, I recommend checking it every 5,000 kilometers or so and syncing the data via the app to prevent minor issues from escalating into major repairs. Regular maintenance helps prolong engine life and avoids unexpected breakdowns.

Checking the engine oil is part of my daily routine when commuting with this car. After parking and turning off the engine, I just wait a moment and find the oil option in the dashboard menu to check. The display is clear, with a highlight indicating sufficient oil level. If I notice low oil, I promptly top it up with genuine oil to prevent long-term engine damage from oil deficiency. Each oil check takes less than a minute, but it ensures peace of mind on the road.
