Additional Notes

  • The front differential on the Mercedes-Benz G 550 (W465, 465.210) carries a fluid capacity of 1.1 liters, while the rear differential holds 1.5 liters, reflecting the larger housing and gear set typical of a rear unit in a body-on-frame four-wheel-drive vehicle.
  • The 0.4-liter difference between the front and rear differential capacities on the G 550 (W465) is a direct result of the rear differential's greater physical size, as rear differentials in this class of vehicle generally manage higher torque loads and require more fluid volume for adequate lubrication.
  • Both the front and rear differential service intervals on the G 550 (W465) are rated at 50,000 miles or 48 months under normal use conditions, meaning the time-based limit of four years can trigger a change independently of mileage accumulation.
  • A 50,000-mile interval for differential fluid is on the shorter end of the spectrum compared to some passenger vehicles, which is consistent with the G 550's positioning as a vehicle designed for demanding driving environments where axle components experience elevated stress.
  • The identical change interval of 50,000 miles or 48 months applied to both axles on the 2024 G 550 (W465) simplifies service scheduling, as both differentials can be serviced in a single appointment when either threshold is reached.
