How to check the oil level in a Mercedes-Benz C260?

[MilesRose]

You can check the car's oil level using the oil dipstick. The oil level is normal as long as it is between the middle marks on the dipstick. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. Reduces wear: There is rapid relative sliding between the piston and cylinder, as well as between the main shaft and bearing shells. To prevent excessive wear on parts, a sufficiently thick oil film must be established between the two sliding surfaces to separate them, reducing wear and extending mechanical lifespan. 2. Cools the engine: Engine oil helps the radiator cool the engine by dissipating heat outside the engine. 3. Seals and prevents leaks: Engine oil forms a sealing ring between the piston rings and piston, reducing gas leakage and the entry of pollutants. 4. Dampens shocks: When pressure in the engine cylinder rises sharply, suddenly increasing the load on the piston, piston skirt, connecting rod, and crankshaft bearings, this load is transmitted and lubricated through the bearings, cushioning the impact load.
