Additional Notes

  • All six variants of the Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class C208/A208 share an identical power steering fluid capacity of 1 liter, spanning the full range from the base CLK 200 to the performance-oriented CLK 55 AMG.
  • A 1-liter capacity is characteristic of a hydraulic power steering reservoir service fill, representing the fluid held in the reservoir and lines rather than a full system overhaul volume.
  • The CLK 200 covers model years 1997-2001, making its production window one year shorter than the five other variants, all of which extend through 2002.
  • The CLK 55 AMG entered the lineup later than the other variants, with specifications beginning in 1999 compared to the 1997 start year shared by the remaining five configurations.
  • Both supercharged four-cylinder variants, the CLK 200 Kompressor and CLK 230 Kompressor, carry the same 1-liter power steering capacity as the naturally aspirated and V-engine configurations, indicating no reservoir size difference tied to forced induction.
  • All capacity figures are listed under normal use conditions, meaning the 1-liter specification applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or high-stress service scenarios.
