Brabus S/SL/CL

Coolant capacity & service interval

Brabus S/SL/CL coolant specifications cover a capacity range of 15 to 18 liters. The data includes 4 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications
CL 5.8 (1999-2002)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 15 liter
CL 6.7 SV12 (1999-2002)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 18 liter
S 6.7 SV12 (1999-2005)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 18 liter
SL 7.3 S (1993-2001)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 18 liter

Additional Notes

  • The Brabus S/SL/CL coolant system capacities across the listed configurations fall into two distinct values: 15 liters and 18 liters, with the lower figure applying exclusively to the CL 5.8.
  • The Brabus CL 5.8 (1999-2002) carries a cooling system capacity of 15 liters under normal use conditions, the smallest figure among all four listed configurations.
  • The CL 6.7 SV12 (1999-2002) requires 18 liters for the cooling system under normal use, a 3-liter increase over the CL 5.8 despite sharing the same model years and body designation.
  • The S 6.7 SV12 (1999-2005) shares the 18-liter cooling system capacity with the CL 6.7 SV12, indicating that the displacement and engine architecture carry more weight in determining coolant volume than the body style.
  • The SL 7.3 S (1993-2001) also holds 18 liters of coolant under normal use conditions, matching the capacity of both SV12 configurations despite belonging to a different engine family and an earlier production window.
  • All four configurations specify normal use conditions, meaning the 15-liter and 18-liter figures are not tied to severe-duty or first-change scenarios but reflect standard operating fill volumes.
  • An 18-liter cooling system capacity is a notably large figure for a passenger vehicle and reflects the thermal management demands of high-displacement engines such as the 6.7 SV12 and 7.3 S.
