Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, C197 (EU)

Additional Notes

• The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG C197 brake fluid capacity is listed as a range of 0.71 to 0.83 liter across all four variants covered in the specifications. A range rather than a fixed value reflects normal variation in how much fluid remains in the system during a service fill, depending on the state of the brake components at the time of servicing.
• The 24-month change interval applies uniformly under normal use conditions across the SLS AMG, SLS AMG GT, SLS AMG GT Final Edition, and SLS AMG Black Series. A time-based interval for brake fluid is standard practice because brake fluid absorbs moisture over time regardless of mileage, which lowers its boiling point and can compromise braking performance.
• The SLS AMG in chassis designation 197.377/477 covers the 2010-2012 model years, while the SLS AMG GT in the same chassis designation spans 2012-2014, with 2012 representing an overlap year between the two variants in the specifications.
• The SLS AMG Black Series, designated 197.377, carries the same 0.71-0.83 liter capacity range and 24-month interval as the other variants, despite being a higher-performance derivative with a more track-focused character. The hydraulic brake system note applies to all four rows equally.
• The SLS AMG GT Final Edition, carrying chassis codes 197.378/478, shares the 2013-2014 production window with the SLS AMG GT and is the only variant in the specifications to use a distinct chassis code suffix, differentiating it from the other 197.377/477-coded models.
• All four variants reference a hydraulic brake system specifically, which distinguishes the brake circuit from any electrohydraulic or purely electronic braking architecture. The capacity figures of 0.71-0.83 liter are consistent with a conventional hydraulic circuit serving a high-performance vehicle with large-diameter brake components.
