Additional Notes

  • The Mercedes-Benz CLE-Class (C236 / A236) transfer case fluid capacity is 0.7 liter across all three available 4MATIC variants, covering the CLE 300, CLE 450, and CLE 53 AMG configurations.
  • A 0.7 liter fill volume is characteristic of a compact transfer case unit, consistent with the relatively small housing used in passenger car-based all-wheel-drive systems rather than truck-derived transfer cases, which commonly hold several liters.
  • The specified change interval of 77,500 miles applies under normal use conditions for all three variants, meaning the interval is not adjusted for any severe-duty classification in the available data.
  • The CLE 300 4MATIC (236.347/447), CLE 450 4MATIC (236.361/461), and CLE 53 AMG 4MATIC (236.362/462) share an identical fluid capacity and service interval, indicating a common transfer case unit across the lineup regardless of engine output differences.
  • The 77,500-mile interval is a relatively extended service schedule, reflecting the sealed or low-maintenance design philosophy common in modern passenger car transfer cases where fluid degradation is expected to be gradual under normal operating conditions.
  • The note "transferbox" in the specifications refers to the transfer case assembly itself, distinguishing the fluid service from related but separate drivetrain components such as the front or rear differential.
