(i put somewhere between 6&1/2 -7). perfect would be in the middle of the line. mb did reduce years ago the oil capacity on the m104 from 7.5L to 7, i think mainly because these engines were leaking. to check the oil wait 3-4 minutes after you turn-off the engine so the oil drips down to the bottom, and check the stick. car should be at operating temp between 80-90C.

Thanks!!!
