Additional Notes
- Both the SLR McLaren Roadster (199.476) and the coupe (199.376) share an identical power steering fluid capacity of 2 liters across the 2007-2009 model years.
- A 2-liter capacity for a power steering system is relatively substantial, reflecting the hydraulic demands of a high-performance supercar platform rather than a conventional passenger vehicle setup.
- The capacity figure of 2 liters applies under normal use conditions, meaning standard operating environments without the elevated stress factors associated with severe-duty classifications.
- The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren C199/R199 power steering specifications make no distinction between the open-top Roadster body style and the closed coupe in terms of fluid volume requirements, with both variants rated at the same 2-liter fill.
