Additional Notes

  • The SLC 43 AMG (172.466) carries a stated brake fluid capacity of 0.5 liter for the hydraulic brake system, which represents a defined service fill volume used when replenishing or bleeding the system.
  • The SLC 300 (172.438) specifies a fill level expressed as a range between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir rather than a fixed volume, meaning the correct level is confirmed visually against the reservoir gradations.
  • Both the SLC 300 and SLC 43 AMG share a 24-month change interval for brake fluid under normal use conditions, covering the 2016-2020 model years across both configurations.
  • The 24-month interval applies to normal use conditions in both rows, which is the only use condition present across the brake fluid specifications for the Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class R172 in the USA and Canadian market.
