I was reminded today of the progress we have made when I thought I had better check the oil on the CLS. Opened the bonnet - no dipstick. Went to the handbook - oil is checked via the onboard computer - 1st step, warm up the engine for 30 minutes...... What used to be a 2 minute job with a dipstick and paper towel, now takes 30 mins+. Progress!
I had an E-Class like this a few cars ago, then they seemed to drop it on more recent ones which have had a dipstick. It crossed my mind at the time that maybe so few people bothered to check that they had a run on engine claims under warranty and decided to drop the idea. But it's back!
Anybody else have this nonsense?
