Hmmm... My 2008 ML 550 does not show the oil levels on that screen. Apparently Mercedes didn't feel the need to put a dip stick in the 5.5 Liter engines. Mine just has a plastic cap where a dip stick should go. I am figuring this out now after 75k miles and just had to replace the cap due to a failed seal. Thank you for the video, at least now I know how to get to the service menu.
That is 6.1 l (for Liters), not quarts. M273 V8 gasoline engine in W and X164 chassis should have 9.0 liters of oil in total. As far as I know (correct me if I´m wrong), the car should tell the driver as soon as the oil level reaches "low" on the dipstick. At least my X164 does this. Additionally you can scroll through the different menus and one of them says "checking oil level" or something like that - but that only works when the engine is stopped and ignition is on (engine should be off for several minutes like after refuelling for the oil to flow back to the pan for correct reading).
thank y5oy so much this oil check was the only one that worked for my 2005 ml500🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 so many other vids were WRONG also thanks for the tip on the R button messaged from new zealand 🇳🇿 #saved for future reference 😅
Those are not quarts but liters, check carefully and you will see on your video a 1 followed by a l. As you said it doe snot work on all MBZ. It does n to work on my SLK. Keep making good videos.
Thanks for the information I have a Benz r350 4 matic and always trying to find ways to learn my car that is awesome information. Maybe you can do a video on how to change the transmission oil and filter
Change the transmission control module its a computer chip in the trans that tells car when to shift they go bad and need to be programmed by a tech that has the mb trans programmer! Happen to mine it would stall coming to a stop sigh only once a day after being on for an hour, or more!
Doesn't work on MY2009 ml350 w164 with smart key. Only can see my UB. Anyways, your videos have been incredibly helpful! I'm helping a friend doing a whole Maintainence tune up on his ml350. He wants it to ride and drive like the day he bought it off the lot. It's at 61,000 miles and it feels like an 80's Cadillac. And by that I mean the driver dynamic feedback is numb to him.
Hey, Keith! Thank you for your work! I tried doing this on my 2007 GL and couldn't arrive at the information. How do you reach the oil level info after you are in the secret menu showing the battery voltage? What happens between 1:14 and 1:16 in your video? Thank you!
2006 c280 4matic. Just did an oil change. Now im getting a check oil level msg. Check the oil stick and the oil is up to about max level. Alittle under. What could be the issue here? 1st time seeing this msg.
Pressing 3 times "R" only works when you little dash screen is showing kilometers.....cluster must be showing km or ml.....wont work if its on anything else
My oil sensor is bad, it tells me my oil is high. So I check often. I own a 2004 Mercedes Benz ML350. Could you please help me? There's this code 700 showing up, I need to know if it's bad. Lol! Thanks.
when you check, are you checking it manually? If so what reading are you getting? Can you also check it through the cluster? Are these values matching up? please get back to me.
I have a ‘08 R500 and can open the secret menu in keyposition 1. But no Oil info. After turning the key one step further, only the engine type info appears in addition.
Any idea how to repair the DVD on a 2010 ML350 BlueTec?.it will not load ANY DVD's or CD's.. i purchased the 2017 update for the Navigation system from the dealer....
Is it powering up? Is there already a dvd in there that's stuck somehow? You will have to remove the unit and open it if it's got one stuck in it and or find out what else is going on with it.
I hate all German cars, and stuff like this is exactly why. There is no legitimate reason you should have to go through all that rigamarole just to check your oil

Great information and demonstration. Kindly advice required any engine oil top at reading 6.11 ? What is acceptable reading?
That is 6.1 l (for Liters), not quarts.
M273 V8 gasoline engine in W and X164 chassis should have 9.0 liters of oil in total.
As far as I know (correct me if I´m wrong), the car should tell the driver as soon as the oil level reaches "low" on the dipstick.

Can you tell me wher and what part place can I get shocks and struts for my 2006 R500. Thanks for being a great help.
Is that quarts or liters? Great advice
At 1:40 the information shown are in Liters (6.1 l), not quarts.
No one understands Wuartz or quarts outside the usa 😂😂 go learn new metrics
In video 6.1l means 6.1 liters not 6.11 quarts
Great videos ! Very helpful. Keep it coming
thank y5oy so much this oil check was the only one that worked for my 2005 ml500🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 so many other vids were WRONG also thanks for the tip on the R button messaged from new zealand 🇳🇿 #saved for future reference 😅
Glad it helped. Different models and software versions have different methods to access the menu
Thanks
Number one videos are about the ML
How do you check transmission level?

Good video,very clear and efficient,but it doesn't work with Europeean models,I think
So is 6.1 oil level out of 10? Good? Need more oil?
Good day.
Please whatvis the recommded engine oil for a 2008 GL450?

Hey Keith, my ML 350 2009. Pls what is the appropriate reading requirement, is it 6.11 or more. Waiting for your reply thank you
Great info. Does this work on a 2003 clk 500 ?
Helpful brotha
Again is this reading low, high or perfect at 6.11
You still in South Mass?
on my 08 ML 350 i could not get this to work, that lowest line that shows the oil does not appear on my menu
HI~! Thank you for your review~! this is really helpful

+Ivan Gonchar unfortunately not all of these vehicles have the oil information available on that screen including your vehicle.
Thank you! Will try that asap.

Nice feature... thanks for sharing :-)
Thanks for the videos. How do I check transmission fluid on 2009ML350? thanks
did you found solution to your issue ?
works on a 2011 w169.. thanks man.
2006 c280 4matic. Just did an oil change. Now im getting a check oil level msg. Check the oil stick and the oil is up to about max level. Alittle under. What could be the issue here? 1st time seeing this msg.
You can get this message when you have too much oil as well as too little oil. What grade oil did you use?
@@iRepairAutos .mobile 1 0w40. Same like always
How about gearbox oil?
Pressing 3 times "R" only works when you little dash screen is showing kilometers.....cluster must be showing km or ml.....wont work if its on anything else
What if the oil level sensor is malfunctioning and reporting inaccurate readings to the computer? Who do you trust better your sight or a sensor?
Sight is always better and should still be used especially if in doubt. Have you encountered a bad sensor in upper vehicle?
What level should the oil be?
on this model max is 9Liters
So if the oil is low do I top up or services?
what are the other buttons beside do
Can you check the transmission fluid on the screen also? I own a 2012 GL550
No you cannot.
Ml350 mercedes Benz 2006 what is the centrifuge
Could be show on ml320 2008?
Thank you in advance

Do you have a video on replacing PARKING LAMP BULB on 2010 ML350 Bluetec?..
Yes - Here: ua-cam.com/video/ZkstFEY8S2I/v-deo.html
How do you do a 2012 GLK-350 with no dipstick?
How does it not have a dipstick? 🙅🏽♀️..😱 my 2010 has one...
I have a 2017 mbz c300z.. there is no oil option in any of the menus 😭
Thank you! 👑
doesnt appear to have it on a 2015 ML350
El video que enseñas es un poco engañoso, ese medidor es de un W203 y no del Ml w164 como el cuadro que sale al principio del video. Un saludo
For c300 4 Matic????? Please
I have a ‘08 R500 and can open the secret menu in keyposition 1. But no Oil info. After turning the key one step further, only the engine type info appears in addition.
You may or may not have this option depending on the software version in your Mercedes
Does it work on newer model?
It varies. Check your model and let me know.
iRepair Autos someone with a similar model as mine said no. I have a 2014 gl440. Will try later on.
Does this work on a 2008 c300
Any info on how to do it with press to start models?
either dont press brake then press button or remove button and use key
How are you these days bro
It did not work on my 2008 C300, Pressing the reset button did nothing.
In my '05 ML500 W164 it didnt work like this...
The Voltage was there, but no oil liters...
Does anyone have a clue?
Your car's software revision doesn't have that feature
Any idea how to repair the DVD on a 2010 ML350 BlueTec?.it will not load ANY DVD's or CD's.. i purchased the 2017 update for the Navigation system from the dealer....

Apparently the DVD unit was faulty, found a guy who replaced it for me.. Ts"all good now!.
thank you for the response...
Hi changing front parking bulbs to led ml 2007 dose not work they blink 4 -5 times and go off any way to fix this problem can you help please Cheers
Karanjit Dhillon you need canbus LED bulbs or LED resistors for the LED'S to work
You need a canbus leds or antifliker resistor is cheaps on eBay about 8 dollars the pair
Doesn’t work on my 2010 ml350
You can`t do that on w164 ml350.
Correct. It depends on the software revision in the vehicle.
Sadly not for my ML500 2006
Same here! Mine is also a 2006 ML500.
I hate all German cars, and stuff like this is exactly why. There is no legitimate reason you should have to go through all that rigamarole just to check your oil
I agree. On this particular model, you can also check it by pulling the dipstick.
@@iRepairAutos which I only realized after trying to check it thru the dash lol
Waste of time. Almost as if to say, 'I don't need oil unless the light comes on".
