with todays technology, some car companies decided to eliminate the dipstick. I know BMW stopped using them, and i guess same with MB. My C320 doesnt have a dipstick. Since the car is still new and under warrenty i would ask the dealer to inspect it. Not particularly with MB but car companies that rely on a oil sensor to determine the level have faulty sensors. You could also try adding 1 quart (when the car is 1 quart low, thats when the sensor is triggered) and if it the low oil warning goes away then you're clear. Oil consumption is oil on most cars (especially if you drive them hard). I find that if you're burning more than 1L of oil in a couple thousand kms then there is some problem. Best of luck.
