Additional Notes

  • The Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class C117/X117 automatic transmission fluid specifications cover a semi-automatic transaxle configuration across all listed variants for the 2013-2018 model years.
  • The CLA 250 variants, covering both the standard and 4MATIC all-wheel-drive configurations, share an identical fluid capacity of 5.25 liters under normal use conditions.
  • The CLA 45 AMG 4MATIC carries a slightly higher fluid capacity of 5.5 liters, which is consistent across both the 2013-2015 and 2015-2018 engine code groupings under normal use conditions.
  • The 0.25-liter difference between the CLA 250 and CLA 45 AMG 4MATIC capacities reflects a distinction between the two powertrain families rather than a drivetrain layout difference, since both the standard CLA 250 4MATIC and the CLA 45 AMG 4MATIC share the same all-wheel-drive system yet differ in capacity.
  • The CLA 250 and CLA 250 4MATIC are assigned a change interval of 62,000 miles or 60 months under normal use, whichever comes first, representing a time-and-distance dual threshold common in fluid service scheduling.
  • The CLA 45 AMG 4MATIC is assigned a significantly shorter change interval of 31,000 miles or 36 months under normal use, roughly half the mileage and time thresholds of the CLA 250 variants.
  • The CLA 45 AMG 4MATIC interval of 31,000 miles and 36 months applies uniformly across both the 2013-2015 and 2015-2018 engine code groupings, indicating no revision to the service schedule between those two production periods.
  • All four rows are designated under normal use conditions, meaning the stated capacities and intervals correspond to standard operating environments rather than severe or first-change-only scenarios.
