Additional Notes

  • The Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class C219 rear differential fluid capacity varies by variant. The CLS 500 (219.375) and CLS 55 AMG Kompressor (219.376), both covering 2004-2006, share a fixed rear differential capacity of 1.2 liters under normal use conditions.
  • The CLS 63 AMG (219.377) also carries a fixed 1.2-liter rear differential capacity across both of its listed year ranges, 2006-2007 and 2007-2010, under normal use conditions.
  • A fixed capacity value such as 1.2 liters typically reflects a service fill amount, meaning the quantity needed to bring the differential to the correct operating level during a routine fluid change rather than a full overhaul drain.
  • The CLS 550 (219.372) departs from the fixed 1.2-liter figure seen in other variants. A range of 1.0 to 1.6 liters is listed for both the 2006-2007 and 2007-2010 year spans under normal use conditions.
  • A variable capacity range like 1.0 to 1.6 liters on the CLS 550 reflects real-world variation in how much fluid drains during a service, which can depend on differential temperature, drain time, and the specific differential unit installed.
  • All six rows across the C219 lineup specify normal use conditions, meaning the listed capacities apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or high-stress driving cycles.
  • The CLS 550 (219.372) is the only variant in the C219 differential specifications to carry a capacity range rather than a single fixed value, distinguishing its rear differential service requirements from those of the 500, 55 AMG Kompressor, and 63 AMG variants.
