Additional Notes

  • The Mercedes-Benz 600, W100 carries a dry fill capacity of 8.8 liters for the automatic transmission. A dry fill figure represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely empty transmission, such as after a full overhaul or component replacement.
  • The service fill capacity is rated at 7.8 liters, which is 1.0 liter less than the dry fill. A service fill accounts for residual fluid that remains in the torque converter and transmission passages during a routine drain, meaning the full system volume is never fully evacuated under normal service conditions.
  • The normal use condition applies a change interval of 18,000 km for the automatic transmission fluid. Normal use typically reflects standard driving patterns without the added mechanical stress associated with severe operating conditions such as towing, extreme temperatures, or frequent short trips.
