When you run your car low on oil you increase the instance of burning your motor. If your motor burned out your car won't work.

Your car stalled and oil light came on does it just need oil?

Probably not, your oil light came on because your ignition was switched on but as the motor was not running [it had stalled] the sensor felt no oil pressure so it turns on the warning light. The next time you start your car look at the dash as you turn the key. You will note that the oil light comes on then goes out when the engine starts. Take my advice, check your oil with the dipstick, don't wait for a warning light, can be an expensive habit.


I was driving 120km on freeway the oil light came on and I had no power pulled off I could start the car but it made a noice i then realized the water bottle was empty but it did not overheat What?

Your car will not overheat because you still got water in it. You might want to check your oil. The light indicate that the car is either low or out of lubricating oil, please do not run your car yet, check and add oil first.

Why is the engine oil light still on after an oil change was done on the E320?

The oil change garage or Mercedes dealer has to reset the oil change light. The oil change light goes by the mileage on the car, tripping the light on at the factory recommended oil change intervals. The computer doesn't know you changed the oil in the car unless you tell it. Read your car owners manual.

STOP driving the car until this is diagnosed and repaired. Can be a defective oil pressure sending unit, failed oil pump, or something else. The oil pressure needs to be tested to see if the pump is good.
