One time I contacted MBUSA corporate, Paul Halata was president, he sent me a wire and said a regional rep would contact me, which he did and noticed the problem, first time I ever saw the local dealership service manager in a shirt and tie (well clip on tie ), the rep and a factory rep were on their way to a restaurant I set up for them and were in an accident smashed from behind on an interstate. the next day the rep called me I met them at the dealership and saw the car and was amazed, it was an e class, the factory rep had a bruised hand, but was so proud of the supplemental restraint systems, ever since then I could see first hand what we all pay for.

Getting back to my ?, how much oil is in my 01 S500???
Should be 9.5 quarts
