Additional Notes
- Across all four variants of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, C197 (USA / CAN), the hydraulic brake system holds between 0.71 and 0.83 liters of brake fluid, reflecting a relatively compact reservoir volume consistent with a dedicated high-performance sports car platform.
- The 0.71–0.83 liter range represents a service fill capacity, meaning the figure accounts for the fluid volume present in normal operating condition rather than a full system overhaul with dry components.
- A 24-month change interval applies uniformly across all listed variants under normal use conditions, placing brake fluid renewal on a calendar-based schedule rather than a mileage-driven one.
- The SLS AMG, 197.377/477 covers model years 2010-2012, while the SLS AMG GT, 197.377/477 spans 2012-2014, with both sharing identical capacity and interval specifications despite representing successive generations of the same chassis designation.
- The SLS AMG GT Black Series, 197.378/478 carries the same 0.71–0.83 liter capacity and 24-month interval as the standard GT, indicating no deviation in brake fluid system sizing between the Black Series and non-Black Series variants.
- The SLS AMG GT Final Edition, 197.378/478, produced across 2013-2014, shares the 197.378/478 chassis code with the Black Series and likewise carries identical brake fluid specifications, pointing to a common hydraulic brake architecture between the two.
