My w211 does not have a,trans dipstick & trans tube has,sealed cover. This,car 2005 E320 4 matic also did NOT have oil dipstick. I found company in Poland that makes,aftermarket dipsticks for European cars. So far dipstick aligns,with computer readouts on oil i am too old school to trust computer on OIL . Sorry Jaime
