Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, C197 (USA / CAN)

Additional Notes

• Across all four configurations of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, C197 (USA / CAN), the cooling system capacity is uniformly 14 liters, a figure consistent with the demands of a large-displacement, high-output naturally aspirated V8 engine requiring substantial thermal management volume.
• The 14-liter capacity figure represents a full cooling system fill, meaning the total volume of coolant the system holds when serviced from a drained or dry state, rather than a partial top-off quantity.
• All four configurations share an identical service interval of 150,000 miles or 180 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions.
• The 180-month time limit translates to a 15-year calendar-based ceiling on coolant service, which applies regardless of mileage accumulation under normal use conditions.
• The SLS AMG GT Black Series, chassis 197.378/478, covers only the 2013 model year, yet carries the same 14-liter capacity and 150,000-mile interval as the broader lineup.
• The SLS AMG GT Final Edition, chassis 197.378/478, spans 2013-2014 and shares both the capacity and interval specifications with the Black Series variant of the same chassis designation.
• The base SLS AMG, chassis 197.377/477, covers 2010-2012, while the SLS AMG GT on the same chassis designation spans 2012-2014, meaning the 2012 model year falls within the production window of both configurations.
• No variation in cooling system capacity or service interval exists across any of the four configurations, indicating a consistent thermal system specification throughout the C197 generation regardless of trim level or model year.
