Hi there
I bought a 2003 petrol C200K Estate on Saturday, while driving home a warning message pinged up saying, 'reduce engine oil', the car had a service on the Thursday so I assumed the oil had been overfilled, I took it to my local garage where they took a litre out, I drove away then another message pinged up saying, 'Add 1 litre of oil next time you refuel', grrrrrrr. I understand that these cars do not have a dipstick and that the sensor is really sensitive. My questions are:
a) Do I just fill it up with say, half a litre of oil as it's easier to add a bit rather than have to get too much taken out again?
b) Which oil is the best to use?
Many thanks
