Brabus S/SL/CL

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Brabus S/SL/CL requires automatic transmission fluid with a capacity range of 8,2 to 8,7 liters. The data covers 5 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Brabus S/SL/CL automatic transmission fluid capacity across the listed configurations falls into two distinct values: 8.7 liters and 8.2 liters, reflecting differences tied to the specific transmission units fitted to each variant.
  • The CL 5.8 and CL 6.7 SV12, both covering 1999-2002, share an identical automatic transmission fluid capacity of 8.7 liters under normal use conditions.
  • The S 5.8 (1998-2005) and S 6.7 SV12 (1999-2005) also carry an 8.7-liter automatic transmission fluid capacity under normal use conditions, placing them in the same fill class as the CL variants despite belonging to a different body line.
  • The SL 7.3 S (1993-2001) stands apart with a capacity of 8.2 liters, which is 0.5 liters lower than the 8.7-liter figure shared by the other four configurations listed.
  • A capacity figure listed as a transmission fill — rather than a dry or overhaul fill — typically represents the amount of fluid needed during a standard service, not a full rebuild. All five rows are noted as transmission, automatic fills under normal use, consistent with service-level quantities.
  • Normal use conditions, as referenced across all five rows, generally correspond to standard operating environments without the elevated thermal or mechanical stress associated with severe-duty classifications, which often carry shorter service intervals or different fluid volume requirements.
  • The S 5.8 has the longest model year span among the listed configurations at 1998-2005, yet maintains the same 8.7-liter capacity throughout, indicating no capacity revision across that production window based on the specifications present.
