Mercedes-Benz SL-Class, R232 (EU)

Additional Notes

• Across all four variants of the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class R232 (EU), the automatic transmission fluid capacity is listed as a range of 10 to 11 liters, which is typical of a service fill figure rather than a full overhaul or dry fill quantity. A range rather than a fixed value reflects normal variation during a fluid change, where residual fluid in the torque converter and cooler lines affects the final refill amount.
• The SL 43 AMG (232.450), SL 55 AMG 4MATIC+ (232.480), and SL 63 AMG 4MATIC+ (232.481) all share an identical capacity specification of 10-11 liters, despite differences in engine displacement and drivetrain configuration between a rear-wheel-drive inline-four and two all-wheel-drive V8 variants.
• The SL 63 AMG S E Performance 4MATIC+ (232.482) carries the same 10-11 liter capacity and 60,000 km / 36-month interval as the other three variants, even though the S E Performance designation indicates a hybrid powertrain combining a combustion engine with an electric motor.
• The service interval for all four variants is set at 60,000 km or 36 months under normal use conditions, meaning whichever threshold is reached first triggers the fluid change. The 36-month time limit means a low-mileage vehicle would still require a fluid change after three years regardless of distance traveled.
• All four variants carry a normal use condition designation for the listed interval and capacity, meaning the 60,000 km / 36-month schedule applies to standard operating conditions rather than a reduced interval associated with severe or demanding use.
• The 232.482 variant has a starting year of 2023, placing its introduction two years after the 232.450, 232.480, and 232.481 variants, all of which carry a starting year of 2021 within the R232 generation.
