Where to Check the Engine Oil Level of Mercedes-Benz GLE320?
2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz GLE320's engine oil level can be checked via the oil dipstick, which is located on the right side of the engine, next to the air filter housing. How to use the oil dipstick: Before checking, prepare a tissue. Then locate the handle of the oil dipstick in the engine compartment; pull out the oil dipstick and use the tissue to wipe off as much oil as possible from the dipstick head. At this point, the scale markings on the oil dipstick can be clearly seen; reinsert the cleaned oil dipstick back into its original position, making sure to push it all the way down, then pull it out again. Note that when pulling out the oil dipstick, be mindful of the hand position—hold it vertically, tilted, or horizontally, but never upside down, as this could cause the oil on the dipstick to flow backward, affecting the accuracy of the oil level reading; observe the oil adhering to the dipstick to determine the oil level position. If the oil level is below the MIN lower limit or above the MAX upper limit, it indicates that the engine oil needs to be topped up or there is an excess of oil. Precautions when using the oil dipstick: It is not recommended to check the oil dipstick when the engine is hot. This is because while the engine is running, the oil circulating among various components has not yet fully drained back into the oil pan, which could result in a lower oil level reading on the dipstick.
Checking the oil level of the Mercedes-Benz GLE320 is quite straightforward, and I believe it can be done through the vehicle's multimedia system. After starting the car, don't rush to drive. First, locate the main menu button on the center console and enter it. You'll usually find an option labeled 'Vehicle' or 'Service.' Select 'Oil Level,' and the screen will display the current oil level status. The key is to ensure the car is parked on level ground, and it's best to check a few minutes after the engine has warmed up; otherwise, the reading might be inaccurate. Once, I forgot to check, and the low oil level caused increased engine noise. Fortunately, I noticed it in time and topped it up, preventing any damage. Remember, checking this regularly can prevent potential issues, protect the engine, and extend its lifespan. If you're a beginner unsure about the process, the user manual includes illustrated instructions. Pay extra attention to oil level changes during hot summer months to avoid overheating and part wear—safety should always come first.
