Mercedes-Benz X-Class, 470 (EU)

Transfer case fluid capacity & service interval

Mercedes-Benz X-Class, 470 (EU) requires transfer case fluid with a capacity of 1,5 liters. The service interval is 240000 km or 120 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • All four configurations of the Mercedes-Benz X-Class 470 (EU) listed here share an identical transfer case fluid capacity of 1.5 liters, which is a typical service fill volume for a transfer case of this class and reflects the amount required during a standard fluid change rather than a full overhaul.
  • The 240,000 km change interval applies under normal use conditions across every listed configuration, meaning the interval is not intended for severe driving cycles such as frequent towing, off-road use, or extreme temperature operation.
  • The 120-month time limit runs alongside the 240,000 km distance interval, so whichever threshold is reached first governs when a fluid change is due. A 120-month period equals 10 years, making the time-based limit particularly relevant for lower-mileage vehicles.
  • The X 220 d 4MATIC and X 220 d 4MATIC Euro 6d-temp variants, both carrying the 470.211 chassis code, share identical transfer case specifications despite differing in emissions certification, indicating the Euro 6d-temp designation reflects exhaust treatment differences rather than any change to the drivetrain fluid requirements.
  • The same pattern holds for the 470.231 chassis code, where the X 250 d 4MATIC and X 250 d 4MATIC Euro 6d-temp share the same 1.5-liter capacity and 240,000 km / 120-month interval, again showing that the emissions variant classification has no bearing on transfer case service specifications.
  • The 470.211 and 470.231 chassis codes correspond to the X 220 d and X 250 d engine variants respectively, yet both produce the same transfer case fluid capacity figure, suggesting the transfer case unit itself is common across these two engine displacements within the 470 series.
