It can be the oil pressure switch or the oil level sensor or both. The pressure sensor is the easier to get at and cheaper labour while the level sensor means the oil pan needs to be dropped. If you can do it yourself you can save a bundle on this repair. Any independent shop should be able to do either repair so you won't have to go broke at the Mb dealer so you have lots of options on this.
Hello, yup sounds like the oil level/quality sensor is bad. Its not a hard fix, raise the engine and remove the lower oil pan, then 4 bolts and the sensor is out. Its a common issue and I guess around $500 parts and labor, again that's a guess. Cheers!

Hi Mike,
I'm in the U.K. and your Quarts are of a different measure to ours, I would say that is about the right amount, however careful topping up on level ground and monitoring the dip stick should get you there? anyhow where you bought the oil will have capacity details.
As for oil service light have you tried holding down the trip reset button whilst turning on ignition? Keep it pressed for about 10/15 seconds.
Good Luck!

Its on the screen - if I remember correctly, you go to the Nav menu and you'll see a "main menu" button (it may say "settings") on right hand side (forgive me I am doing this from memory)... press the button, it will give you the "set clock" option; select daylight savings time or whatever corrects your settings and it will move the hands automatically

Check first the condition of the oil. It may be low or need replacing. When you do replace the oil include the filter as well.
I would suggest to have a scanner connected first to the car to help you accurately diagnose the problem. Some shops would let you borrow their scanners or have your car scanned for free. This is the best way to avoid unnecessary expenses for repair.
Usual cause of failure other than bad fluid are, velocity sensors that may have gone bad. A dirty or bad solenoid in the transmission and debris in the gear valve of the transmission. Other errors may cause you to be limited at certain speed and engine condition for safety reasons which may lead us back to identifying first the possible error stored at the car's computer.
