Additional Notes

  • All four R232 configurations in the USA/CAN market share an identical brake fluid capacity of 0.6 liter, which is a typical service fill volume for a hydraulic brake system with ABS rather than a full overhaul quantity.
  • The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class R232 specifies a 24-month change interval across every listed configuration, meaning brake fluid renewal is time-based rather than mileage-based.
  • The 24-month interval applies under normal use conditions for all four variants, covering the SL 43 AMG, SL 55 AMG 4MATIC+, SL 63 AMG 4MATIC+, and SL 63 AMG S E Performance 4MATIC+.
  • The SL 43 AMG 232.450 carries the same 0.6-liter capacity and 24-month interval as the higher-displacement AMG variants, indicating no differentiation in brake fluid service requirements between the four-cylinder and eight-cylinder models.
  • The SL 63 AMG S E Performance 4MATIC+ 232.482, despite being a plug-in hybrid performance variant with a more complex powertrain, shares the same hydraulic brake system capacity and change interval as the conventionally powered R232 models.
