Additional Notes

  • All three configurations in the Mercedes-Benz CLE-Class C236 / A236 lineup share an identical automatic transmission dry fill capacity of 10 liters, meaning the figure represents a full fluid charge from a completely empty transmission rather than a partial service top-up.
  • A dry fill measurement is typically recorded during a transmission overhaul or initial factory fill, so the 10-liter figure reflects total system volume rather than the smaller quantity used in a routine drain-and-refill service.
  • The CLE 300 4MATIC (236.347/447), CLE 450 4MATIC (236.361/461), and CLE 53 AMG 4MATIC (236.362/462) all carry the same 77,500-mile automatic transmission fluid change interval under normal use conditions.
  • The 77,500-mile interval applies specifically to normal use, which in automotive service terminology generally refers to everyday driving without sustained heavy loads, extreme temperatures, or repeated trailer towing cycles.
  • The fact that the CLE 53 AMG 4MATIC shares the same 10-liter dry fill capacity and 77,500-mile interval as the CLE 300 4MATIC and CLE 450 4MATIC indicates no differentiation in transmission fluid specifications across the three variants despite differences in engine output.
