Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, 904/905 (EU)

Additional Notes

• The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 904/905 (EU) transfer case fluid specifications cover the 2000-2006 model years across two 4x4 variants: the 411 CDI 4x4 and the 414 4x4, both under the 904 series designation.
• Both the 411 CDI 4x4 and the 414 4x4 share an identical service interval of 160,000 km under normal use conditions, placing transfer case fluid changes among the longer-interval maintenance items in the drivetrain service schedule.
• Each of the two 4x4 variants lists two separate transfer case capacity figures: 0.8 liter and 1.0 liter. The presence of two distinct values for the same model and year range indicates that different transfer box units were fitted across the production run, each with a different fluid fill volume.
• The 0.8-liter capacity figure represents a relatively small fluid volume for a transfer case, consistent with compact single-speed or two-speed transfer units found in light commercial vehicle platforms.
• The 1.0-liter capacity figure, while only marginally larger, reflects a different internal configuration or unit variant, and using the incorrect fill volume for a given unit would result in either underfilling or overfilling the transfer box.
• All four specification rows are designated for normal use conditions, meaning the 160,000 km change interval is not associated with a severe-duty reduction in service life for either capacity variant.
• The 411 CDI 4x4 and the 414 4x4 carry identical capacity and interval specifications, indicating no differentiation in transfer case service requirements between the CDI diesel variant and the 414 petrol-designated variant within the 904 series.
