Additional Notes

  • The Mercedes-Benz Atego (EU) transfer case fluid specifications cover two four-wheel-drive variants from 1998-2001, the 1823 AK and the 1828 AK, both designated with the AK suffix that identifies all-wheel-drive configuration in Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle nomenclature.
  • The 1823 AK transfer box holds 6.2 liters of fluid, a figure that represents a service fill capacity for the unit as installed in the drivetrain.
  • The 1828 AK transfer box carries a notably higher capacity of 7 liters, reflecting a physically larger or differently specified unit compared to the 1823 AK despite both sharing the same model year range.
  • The 0.8-liter difference between the two transfer box capacities indicates that the two variants use mechanically distinct transfer case assemblies rather than a shared unit with minor calibration differences.
  • Both configurations list normal use conditions, meaning the stated capacities and service parameters apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or off-road-intensive cycles.
