Additional Notes

  • Across all four 4MATIC variants in the Mercedes-Benz CLE-Class C236 / A236 lineup starting from 2023, the transfer case fluid capacity is 0.7 liter, which is a relatively small volume consistent with compact transfer box designs used in passenger car-based all-wheel-drive systems.
  • The 0.7-liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the amount of fluid required during a routine drain-and-refill procedure rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill scenario.
  • The CLE 200 4MATIC (236.351/451), CLE 300 4MATIC (236.347/447), CLE 450 4MATIC (236.361/461), and CLE 53 AMG 4MATIC (236.362/462) all share an identical transfer case fluid change interval of 125,000 km under normal use conditions.
  • The 125,000 km interval is specified under normal use, which in automotive service terminology refers to standard on-road driving conditions as opposed to severe or demanding duty cycles such as frequent towing, off-road use, or extreme temperature exposure.
  • The uniformity of both the 0.7-liter capacity and the 125,000 km interval across the CLE 200, CLE 300, CLE 450, and CLE 53 AMG variants suggests a shared transfer box unit regardless of engine output differences among the four configurations.
  • The CLE 53 AMG 4MATIC, despite carrying AMG performance designation, carries the same transfer case fluid specification as the non-AMG variants, with no deviation in either capacity or service interval within the provided data.
