Additional Notes

  • The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class R232 (EU) rear differential on the SL 43 AMG (232.450) holds 1.2 liters, a notably smaller capacity than the 1.68 liters specified for the rear differentials on the 4MATIC+ variants.
  • The rear differential service interval across the SL 55 AMG 4MATIC+, SL 63 AMG 4MATIC+, and SL 63 AMG S E Performance 4MATIC+ is set at 60,000 km or 36 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The SL 43 AMG rear differential shares the same 60,000 km / 36-month change interval under normal use conditions as the larger 4MATIC+ variants, despite holding a meaningfully smaller fluid volume of 1.2 liters.
  • The front differential on the 4MATIC+ variants — the SL 55 AMG (232.480), SL 63 AMG (232.481), and SL 63 AMG S E Performance (232.482) — carries a uniform capacity of 0.55 liters, with no fluid change interval listed for any of them.
  • The rear differential capacity of 1.68 liters on the SL 55 AMG 4MATIC+ and SL 63 AMG 4MATIC+ is 40 percent greater than the 1.2-liter rear differential capacity on the SL 43 AMG, reflecting the structural differences between a rear-wheel-drive and an all-wheel-drive drivetrain layout.
  • The SL 63 AMG S E Performance 4MATIC+ (232.482), introduced from 2023, carries identical front and rear differential capacities — 0.55 liters and 1.68 liters respectively — to the SL 55 AMG 4MATIC+ and SL 63 AMG 4MATIC+, and shares the same 60,000 km / 36-month rear differential service interval under normal use conditions.
