Additional Notes

  • The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class R232 (USA/CAN) SL 43 AMG carries a rear differential fluid capacity of 1.2 liters, which is notably lower than the 1.68-liter rear differential capacity found in the 4MATIC+ variants, reflecting the difference between a rear-wheel-drive and an all-wheel-drive drivetrain layout.
  • The SL 55 AMG 4MATIC+, SL 63 AMG 4MATIC+, and SL 63 AMG S E Performance 4MATIC+ all share an identical front differential capacity of 0.55 liter, indicating a common front differential unit across the all-wheel-drive lineup.
  • The rear differential on the SL 55 AMG 4MATIC+ and SL 63 AMG 4MATIC+ holds 1.68 liters, which is 0.48 liters more than the rear differential on the SL 43 AMG, a difference consistent with the greater torque demands placed on all-wheel-drive rear differentials.
  • All rear differential service intervals across the R232 lineup are set at 37,500 miles or 36 months under normal use conditions, applying equally to the SL 43 AMG, SL 55 AMG 4MATIC+, SL 63 AMG 4MATIC+, and SL 63 AMG S E Performance 4MATIC+.
  • The front differential positions on the 4MATIC+ variants carry no listed change interval in the specifications, while the rear differentials on those same variants are assigned the 37,500-mile/36-month service interval.
  • The SL 63 AMG S E Performance 4MATIC+ (232.482) shares the same front and rear differential capacities as the SL 55 AMG 4MATIC+ and SL 63 AMG 4MATIC+, with 0.55 liter at the front and 1.68 liters at the rear, despite being a distinct plug-in hybrid performance variant introduced from 2023.
