Additional Notes

  • The Mercedes-Benz A-Class W168 (EU) automatic transmission fluid capacity is listed at 6.3 liters across all four engine variants covered in the specifications.
  • A 6.3-liter figure for a transaxle automatic typically represents a full system fill, accounting for fluid held in the torque converter, valve body, and transmission pan combined.
  • The transaxle designation noted for each variant indicates the transmission and final drive share a common housing, which is a layout associated with front-wheel-drive platforms and influences the total fluid volume required.
  • The A 140 and A 160 share the same 6.3-liter capacity and both carry the full 1997-2004 model year span, making them the longest-running configurations in the specifications.
  • The A 190 enters the specifications from 1999, while the A 210 is listed from 2002, yet both carry the same 6.3-liter automatic transaxle capacity as the earlier variants.
  • All four configurations are listed under normal use conditions, meaning the 6.3-liter capacity figure applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles.
