Per-engine engine-oil and coolant capacities for the Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W177, 4th gen) (2018 – present), read from the manufacturer's owner's manual and cited per value. Oil figures are the service-refill quantity with a new filter; where the generation offers more than one engine the figures differ — match the row to your engine. Fill quantities differ by procedure: a drain-and-fill is usually less than a dry (overhaul) fill — confirm the method in the manual before topping up.

From the manufacturer's workshop / owner documentation for this generation. Gen-wide figures — some values can vary by trim or model year. Fill quantities differ by procedure: a transmission or axle “service” drain-and-fill is often far less than the dry capacity — always confirm the exact fill method in the manual before filling.

Frequently asked

What is the engine oil capacity of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W177, 4th gen) (2018 – present)?
Engine oil capacity with a new filter is 5.4 US qt · 5.1 L. This is the service-refill quantity, not the dry/overhaul fill; add most of it, then top up to the dipstick mark and use the viscosity grade listed above. Verified from the manufacturer's documentation and cited.
What is the coolant capacity of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W177, 4th gen)?
The total cooling-system capacity (including the heater core and expansion tank) is 7.2 US qt · 6.8 L. A routine drain-and-fill replaces less than the full system, so bleed the air and re-check the level warm. Use the coolant type specified for this vehicle — mixing incompatible coolants reduces corrosion protection. Verified from the manufacturer's documentation.
What is the wheel-nut (lug) torque for the Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W177, 4th gen)?
Wheel-nut (lug) torque is 130 Nm. Tighten in a diagonal (star) pattern in two or three even stages, on clean, dry threads, and re-check after roughly 80 km (50 miles) of driving — the most common cause of warped brake discs is uneven or over-torqued wheel nuts. Verified from the manufacturer's documentation.
