Additional Notes
- The Mercedes-Benz G-Class W460 (EU) clutch fluid capacity of 0.3 liter applies uniformly across all six engine variants covered in the 1985-1989 specification range, spanning both petrol and diesel configurations.
- A 0.3 liter figure is characteristic of a hydraulic clutch master and slave cylinder circuit rather than a larger reservoir-based system, reflecting the relatively small fluid volume needed to maintain hydraulic pressure in a mechanically actuated clutch.
- All six variants specify a hydraulic clutch system, meaning clutch engagement is controlled through fluid pressure rather than a mechanical cable, and the 0.3 liter capacity represents the total fill volume for that closed hydraulic circuit under normal use conditions.
- The 230 G covers the 1985-1988 model years, while the 230 GE and 280 GE each span 1985-1989, representing the longest continuous petrol variant coverage within the specification set.
- The 240 GD is listed for 1985-1987, and the 250 GD for 1987-1989, with both sharing the same 0.3 liter hydraulic clutch capacity despite representing different diesel engine displacements across non-overlapping production periods.
- The 300 GD spans the full 1985-1989 range and carries the same 0.3 liter clutch fluid capacity as the smaller-displacement diesel variants, indicating the hydraulic clutch circuit volume is independent of engine size across the W460 lineup.
