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

TypeSpecifications
  • 300 SE, W112 (1961-1965)
  • Rear, limited slip
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 2,5 liter
  • Check 6000 km
  • Change 18000 km

Additional Notes

  • The rear limited slip differential on the Mercedes-Benz 300 SE, W112 carries a fluid capacity of 2.5 liters, which is consistent with a service fill volume rather than a full overhaul quantity.
  • Under normal use conditions, the differential fluid check interval is set at 6,000 km, reflecting a relatively frequent monitoring schedule for a drivetrain component of this type.
  • The fluid change interval under normal use is specified at 18,000 km, placing the change cycle at exactly three times the check interval of 6,000 km.
  • The specification applies exclusively to the limited slip variant of the rear differential, meaning the 2.5-liter capacity and associated service intervals are tied to that specific differential configuration rather than an open differential arrangement.
