Additional Notes

  • The Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class C219 automatic transmission fluid capacities across the 2004-2010 lineup fall within a narrow range, with most variants specifying 9 liters and the CLS 55 AMG Kompressor (219.376) specifying a slightly lower 8.7 liters.
  • The 9-liter figure shared by the CLS 500 (219.375), CLS 550 (219.372), and CLS 63 AMG (219.377) reflects the total fluid volume required to fill the transmission assembly, a value relevant to overhaul or complete drain-and-refill procedures rather than partial service top-ups.
  • The CLS 55 AMG Kompressor (219.376) capacity of 8.7 liters differs from the 9-liter figure seen in other C219 variants, indicating a distinct transmission unit or internal volume associated with the supercharged V8 application used in the 2004-2006 model years.
  • All specifications across the C219 lineup are designated for normal use conditions, meaning the listed capacities and service parameters apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles.
  • From the 2007-2010 model years onward, the CLS 550 and CLS 63 AMG specifications split into two parallel entries distinguished by production number and the presence or absence of factory code A89. Production number 2834527 and above carries code A89, while production number 2834526 and below does not.
  • Both the code A89 and non-code A89 variants of the 2007-2010 CLS 550 and CLS 63 AMG share an identical 9-liter dry fill capacity, meaning the production number split reflects a transmission variant distinction rather than a difference in fluid volume.
  • The dry fill designation appearing on 2007-2010 CLS 550 and CLS 63 AMG entries refers to the total fluid capacity of a completely empty transmission, typically applicable after a full rebuild or replacement where no residual fluid remains in the unit.
  • The CLS 63 AMG (219.377) and CLS 550 (219.372) follow the same production number-based specification split structure for 2007-2010, with both models referencing the same threshold of production number 2834527 as the dividing point between the two transmission variants.
