Engine oil
Vehicle features and options
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with
the series. It also describes features that are
not necessarily available in your vehicle, for
instance, due to the selected options or
country versions. This also applies to safety-
related functions and systems. When using
these functions and systems, the applicable
laws and regulations must be observed.
General information
The engine oil consumption is dependent on
your driving style and driving conditions.
Therefore, regularly check the engine oil
level after refueling by taking a detailed
measurement.
The engine oil consumption can increase in
the following situations, for instance:
– Sporty driving style.
– Break-in of the engine.
– Idling of the engine.
– With use of engine oil types that are
classified as not suitable.
Different Check Control messages appear,
depending on the engine oil level.

measuring principles:

Monitoring
Concept

sage is displayed.
A red indicator light indicates that
the engine oil pressure is too low.
