Mercedes-Benz E-Class, W214 / V214 / S214 (USA / CAN)
Brake fluid capacity & service interval
Mercedes-Benz E-Class, W214 / V214 / S214 (USA / CAN) uses brake fluid with a capacity range between min and max. Service intervals require a change every 24 months. The data covers 4 configurations.
The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes
- Across all four W214/V214/S214 configurations listed for the 2023 model year, the brake fluid fill level is specified as between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir, rather than as a fixed volume. A "between min and max" specification is typical for brake fluid reservoirs, where the level naturally drops slightly as brake pads wear and the caliper pistons extend further.
- The E 350 (214.046/246), E 350 4MATIC (214.047/247), E 450 4MATIC (214.061/261), and E 53 Hybrid AMG 4MATIC (214.063/263) all share an identical 24-month change interval under normal use conditions.
- A 24-month brake fluid change interval is a time-based specification rather than a mileage-based one. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the atmosphere over time, which lowers its boiling point regardless of how many miles the vehicle has accumulated.
- The E 53 Hybrid AMG 4MATIC (214.063/263) carries the same 24-month brake fluid interval under normal use as the non-AMG and non-hybrid variants in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class W214 lineup, despite the added complexity of a hybrid drivetrain that may also employ regenerative braking.
- All four configurations specify the hydraulic brake system as the applicable component, which distinguishes the service point from any electronically actuated or auxiliary braking subsystems that may be present in the vehicle architecture.
