Mercedes-Benz C-Class, W205 / V205 / S205 / C205 / A205 (USA / CAN)

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Mercedes-Benz C-Class, W205 / V205 / S205 / C205 / A205 (USA / CAN) models utilize brake fluid. Service intervals require a change every 24 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications
C 300 e, 205.053/353/453 (2019-2021)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Change 24 months
C 300 e 4MATIC, 205.054/354/454 (2019-2021)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Change 24 months

Additional Notes

  • The brake fluid service interval for the C 300 e 4MATIC (205.054/354/454) and C 300 e (205.053/353/453) is set at 24 months under normal use conditions, meaning the change schedule is time-based rather than mileage-based.
  • Both the 4MATIC and non-4MATIC variants of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 C 300 e share identical brake fluid service intervals of 24 months, with no differentiation between the two drivetrain configurations in the specifications.
  • The fill quantity for the hydraulic brake and clutch system on both C 300 e variants is specified as between the minimum and maximum marks, indicating a top-up or service fill reference rather than a fixed measured volume.
  • The "between min and max" capacity specification applies to the hydraulic brake and clutch system, meaning the reservoir level is the governing fill reference rather than a discrete fluid volume measured in liters or quarts.
  • The 24-month brake fluid change interval reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture over time and lowers its boiling point regardless of distance driven, making calendar-based replacement the standard approach under normal use.
