Does anyone know how to tell the DEF fluid level in a 2016 GLE 300d?
With the DEF filler cap under the fuel door next to the green fuel cap, I'm not expecting any problems after the extended service that I paid for in advance is all used up... I will still be taking my rig to the dealer until the 100K extended warranty is used up. Having twin turbos and piezoelectric injectors, I did want the added security but now I'm spoiled and so far it has been been easy, problem-free driving for us (knock on wood). The miles between fuel stops is great and not having any problems with the DEF tank going dry between service intervals is part of the package: e.g., >30 mpg on a 5,000 lb. SUV with exhaust that passes the white handkerchief test.Now it's just a matter of how long can you go before it gets empty and leaves you stranded. I guess once you keep driving.. you should be alright?
The 2015 ML (GLE) AdBlue tank is 7 gallons and, apparently a lot to spare...Do you know what the levels are right before you go for your next service? As in, is there a lot to spare kind of deal?
yeah, but...... Has anyone thought of that?

Need proof of enforcement? Look no further than a $500,000 fine levied by EPA in January against Edge Products, an American company that sold more than 9,000 devices allowing owners of model year 2007 or later diesel pick-up trucks to operate without their factory-installed diesel particulate filters.
