Additional Notes

  • Across all four R232 variants covered here, the brake fluid capacity for the hydraulic brake system with ABS is 0.6 liter, indicating a service-fill volume rather than a full system overhaul quantity.
  • The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class R232 (EU) carries a 24-month change interval for brake fluid under normal use conditions, which reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid and its tendency to absorb moisture over time regardless of mileage.
  • The SL 43 AMG (232.450), SL 55 AMG 4MATIC+ (232.480), and SL 63 AMG 4MATIC+ (232.481) all share an identical 0.6-liter capacity and 24-month interval, despite differences in engine displacement and drivetrain configuration.
  • The SL 63 AMG S E Performance 4MATIC+ (232.482), introduced from 2023, carries the same 0.6-liter brake fluid capacity and 24-month change interval as the other R232 variants, with the specification applying to the hydraulic brake system with ABS.
  • The 24-month interval is tied specifically to normal use conditions across all listed R232 configurations, meaning the interval is not adjusted for any variation in drivetrain or engine output within the lineup.
