Additional Notes
- Across all four variants of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class W206 / S206 / V206 for the USA and Canadian markets, the brake fluid fill level is specified as between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir, rather than as a fixed volume. A range-based fill specification of this kind reflects a top-up or inspection approach, where the technician references the reservoir's graduated markings rather than measuring a precise quantity.
- The C 300 (206.046/246) and C 300 4MATIC (206.047/247) both carry a 24-month change interval under normal use conditions, applied to the hydraulic brake and clutch system.
- The C 43 AMG 4MATIC (206.087/287), introduced from 2022, shares the same 24-month normal-use change interval for the hydraulic brake and clutch system as the C 300 variants.
- The C 63 AMG S E Performance (206.080/280), introduced from 2023, also follows the 24-month normal-use change interval for the hydraulic brake and clutch system, placing all four variants on an identical service schedule under normal conditions.
- A 24-month brake fluid change interval is a time-based specification rather than a mileage-based one. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the atmosphere over time, which lowers its boiling point and can compromise braking performance. A fixed calendar interval accounts for this degradation regardless of how many miles have been driven.
- All four variants note the hydraulic brake and clutch system together under a single specification entry, indicating a shared fluid circuit between the braking and clutch actuation systems across the W206 / S206 / V206 lineup in these markets.
