Additional Notes

  • The Mercedes-Benz X-Class 470 (EU) automatic transmission fluid capacity for the X 250 d 4MATIC (470.231) is 9 liters under normal use conditions, with no separate dry fill figure listed, suggesting a single capacity value applies regardless of whether the unit is new or being serviced.
  • The X 250 d 4MATIC Euro 6-d temp variant shares the same 9-liter capacity and identical change interval of 90,000 km or 48 months as the standard X 250 d 4MATIC, indicating the emissions compliance difference between the two does not affect transmission fluid specifications.
  • The 48-month time limit paired with the 90,000 km distance interval on the X 250 d 4MATIC means whichever threshold is reached first triggers a fluid change, a dual-condition structure that accounts for low-mileage vehicles where time-based fluid degradation becomes the governing factor.
  • The X 350 d 4MATIC (470.252) lists two distinct capacity figures: 10 liters for a dry fill and 9 liters for a service fill. The dry fill figure reflects the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or new transmission, while the service fill figure applies when some residual fluid remains after a standard drain procedure.
  • Under normal use conditions, the X 350 d 4MATIC carries a change interval of 125,000 km, which is notably longer than the 90,000 km interval specified for the X 250 d 4MATIC, reflecting a difference tied to engine variant rather than a shared transmission service schedule across the 470 range.
  • The X 350 d 4MATIC also carries an initial service interval of 50,000 km, which applies separately from the standard 125,000 km normal-use interval. An initial service interval of this type is typically associated with the first fluid change on a new unit, where factory-fill fluid is replaced earlier to remove any manufacturing residues or break-in byproducts.
  • The 1-liter difference between the dry fill and service fill on the X 350 d 4MATIC (470.252) is consistent with the volume of fluid that typically remains in the torque converter and valve body after a standard drain, making a complete dry fill necessary only during a full transmission overhaul or replacement.
