Additional Notes

  • Across all four variants of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG C197 (EU), the power steering fluid capacity is uniformly specified at 1 liter under normal use conditions.
  • The 1-liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the amount of fluid the power steering system holds during a standard fluid service rather than a full system overhaul.
  • The SLS AMG Black Series, chassis code 197.377, carries the same 1-liter power steering fluid capacity as the broader SLS AMG lineup despite being a higher-performance variant with distinct mechanical tuning.
  • The SLS AMG GT Final Edition, covering chassis codes 197.378 and 197.478 for the 2013-2014 period, shares the identical 1-liter capacity specification with the standard SLS AMG GT produced across 2012-2014.
  • The original SLS AMG, chassis codes 197.377 and 197.477 spanning 2010-2012, establishes the same 1-liter power steering fluid capacity that carries forward without change through all subsequent variants in the C197 range.
  • All specifications are designated for normal use conditions, meaning no separate severe-use interval or capacity figure is listed for any of the four variants covered.
