Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Mercedes-Benz 600, W100 (EU) differential fluid capacity is 3,3 liters. Service intervals occur every 18000 km. The data covers 1 configuration.

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

TypeSpecifications
  • 600 / 600 Pullman, W100 (1963-1981)
  • Rear, limited slip
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 3,3 liter
  • Change 18000 km

Additional Notes

  • The rear limited slip differential on the Mercedes-Benz 600 / 600 Pullman, W100 carries a fluid capacity of 3.3 liters, which is consistent with the larger housing volumes typical of heavy luxury and limousine platforms designed to handle substantial vehicle weight.
  • The 3.3-liter capacity figure represents a service fill level, meaning the amount of fluid required when servicing the differential under normal operating conditions rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill scenario.
  • A change interval of 18,000 km is specified for normal use conditions across the 1963-1981 production span, applying uniformly to both the standard 600 and the extended 600 Pullman body configurations.
  • The limited slip designation in the differential note is significant because limited slip differentials require fluid formulations compatible with friction modifier requirements, and the 3.3-liter capacity reflects the additional internal components associated with a clutch-pack or cone-type limited slip mechanism.
