Additional Notes

  • Across the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupé / Cabriolet C238 / A238 lineup, brake fluid service for the hydraulic brake system follows a 24-month change interval under normal use conditions for the 2017-2018 model year variants.
  • The E 300, E 350d 4MATIC, E 400, and E 400 4MATIC Coupé / Cabriolet models from 2017-2018 all specify a fill level maintained between the minimum and maximum reservoir marks rather than a fixed volume, which is characteristic of a top-up or service-level specification rather than a measured overhaul fill.
  • The E 53 AMG 4MATIC+ Coupé / Cabriolet, covering model years 2018-2023, carries a discrete brake fluid capacity of 0.5 liter, a fixed-volume figure that stands apart from the min-to-max range notation used across the earlier 2017-2018 configurations.
  • A stated capacity of 0.5 liter on the E 53 AMG is consistent with a full hydraulic brake system fill, as seen in overhaul or complete fluid replacement procedures where the entire reservoir and lines are accounted for.
  • The 24-month brake fluid change interval specified for the 2017-2018 models reflects a time-based service schedule under normal use, meaning the interval is driven by elapsed time rather than mileage or operating severity.
  • No change interval in months or mileage is listed for the E 53 AMG 4MATIC+ Coupé / Cabriolet in the available specifications, with only the 0.5-liter capacity figure present for that configuration.
  • The presence of both rear-wheel-drive and 4MATIC all-wheel-drive variants among the 2017-2018 entries, including the E 400 and E 400 4MATIC, does not produce any difference in brake fluid service specifications, as both share the same min-to-max fill guidance and 24-month change interval.
