Mercedes-Benz G-Class, W465 (EU)

Transfer case fluid capacity & service interval

Mercedes-Benz G-Class, W465 (EU) requires 1,5 liters of transfer case fluid. The service interval for the fluid change is 120000 km. The data covers 2 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • Both the G 450 d (465.310) and G 500 (465.210) share a transfer case fluid capacity of 1.5 liters, which represents the service fill volume for the transfer box unit.
  • A 1.5-liter capacity is relatively modest for a transfer case, consistent with sealed or semi-sealed units where fluid volume is kept low by design rather than by frequent drain-and-refill servicing.
  • The Mercedes-Benz G-Class W465 (EU) specifies a transfer case fluid change interval of 120,000 km under normal use conditions for both the G 450 d and G 500 variants.
  • The 120,000 km interval under normal use reflects a long-life fluid specification, meaning the transfer box fluid is formulated to maintain its protective properties across extended mileage without requiring intermediate changes.
  • The G 450 d carries a diesel powertrain designation, while the G 500 is petrol-powered, yet both share identical transfer case fluid capacity and change interval figures, indicating the transfer box hardware and fluid specification are common across the two drivetrains in the W465 platform.
