Additional Notes

  • The power steering system capacity across the U 1000 and U 1200 variants of the Unimog (MB) 424 is 2.25 liters, a figure consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul volume.
  • The U 1000 (424) carries a fluid change interval of 2,400 hours or 24 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, reflecting the dual-trigger service logic common in heavy-duty and agricultural machinery.
  • The U 1200 (424) shares the same 2,400-hour or 24-month change interval as the U 1000, and both are rated under normal use conditions rather than a severe-duty classification.
  • The U 1000 variant covers model years 1984-1992, while the U 1200 variant spans 1984-1988, meaning the two configurations overlap only within the 1984-1988 period despite carrying identical capacity and interval specifications.
