Additional Notes

  • The Mercedes-Benz C-Class W206/S206/V206 front differential capacity is listed at 0.55 liter across all three variants covered by the specifications, applying equally to both standard and light alloy housing configurations.
  • The front differential light alloy housing variant on the C 300 4MATIC, C 43 AMG 4MATIC, and C 63 AMG S E Performance shares the same 0.55 liter capacity as the standard front differential housing, indicating no fill volume difference between the two housing materials.
  • Rear differential capacity across all covered variants is listed with four distinct values: 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, and 1.0 liter. The spread of these figures reflects multiple rear differential unit configurations rather than a single fixed fill volume, meaning the applicable capacity depends on which specific rear differential assembly is installed.
  • The rear differential capacity range of 0.7 to 1.0 liter represents a 0.3 liter spread, which is meaningful at this scale of component and points to physically different differential housings or gear sets being used across production units of the same model.
  • The C 300 (206.046/246) rear-wheel-drive variant carries the same four rear differential capacity values as the C 300 4MATIC (206.047/247), despite the absence of a front differential on the rear-wheel-drive configuration.
  • The C 43 AMG 4MATIC (206.087/287) shares identical front and rear differential capacity figures with the C 300 4MATIC, despite being a higher-performance AMG variant with a different powertrain, suggesting common differential hardware across those two 4MATIC configurations.
  • The C 63 AMG S E Performance (206.080/280) carries the same differential capacity values as the other 4MATIC variants, with 0.55 liter front and the same four rear differential options ranging from 0.7 to 1.0 liter.
  • All differential fluid specifications across every covered variant and configuration are designated for normal use conditions, with no separate severe-use interval or capacity listed in the specifications.
  • No service interval mileage or time value is listed in the specifications for any differential fluid entry, meaning the data covers fill capacities only and does not address drain-and-refill scheduling.
