Mercedes-Benz CLE-Class, C236 / A236 (USA / CAN)

Additional Notes

• The Mercedes-Benz CLE-Class (C236/A236) lists differential fluid capacities under normal use conditions across all three 4MATIC variants covered in the specifications.
• The front differential capacity is 0.55 liter for the CLE 300 4MATIC, CLE 450 4MATIC, and CLE 53 AMG 4MATIC, and I note that figure applies equally whether the housing is standard or light alloy construction.
• The light alloy front differential housing is listed as a distinct configuration from the standard front differential, yet both share the same 0.55 liter fill capacity across all three variants.
• Rear differential capacity is not a single fixed value. The specifications list three separate figures, 0.8 liter, 0.9 liter, and 1.0 liter, for the rear differential across each variant, indicating multiple rear differential unit types are fitted depending on the specific build.
• The 1.0 liter rear differential figure represents the largest fluid capacity listed in the specifications, which is consistent with a larger or more robust differential unit requiring a greater fluid volume to maintain adequate lubrication.
• The 0.8 liter rear differential figure represents the smallest of the three rear differential capacities, suggesting a more compact unit variant is also used within the same model lineup.
• All capacity values across the specifications are designated for normal use conditions, with no separate severe-use or first-change-only intervals listed for any differential position or variant.
• The front and rear differential capacities differ substantially from each other, with the rear unit holding between 45% and 82% more fluid than the front unit depending on which rear differential variant is present.
