  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 1,25 liter
S 6.7 SV12 (1999-2005)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 1,25 liter
S 5.8 (1998-2005)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 1 liter

Additional Notes

  • The Brabus S/SL/CL power steering fluid capacity splits into two distinct values across the lineup: 1 liter for one configuration and 1.25 liters for the remaining three.
  • The Brabus S 5.8, covering model years 1998-2005, carries a power steering fluid capacity of 1 liter, which is the lowest figure recorded across all four configurations in the lineup.
  • The CL 5.8 and CL 6.7 SV12, both spanning 1999-2002, share an identical power steering fluid capacity of 1.25 liters despite differing in engine displacement and cylinder configuration.
  • The S 6.7 SV12, covering 1999-2005, also holds 1.25 liters of power steering fluid, placing the capacity on equal footing with the CL variants rather than with the S 5.8 of the same body family.
  • All four configurations list a normal use condition, meaning the stated capacities apply to standard operating circumstances rather than a severe-duty or first-change scenario.
  • The 0.25-liter difference between the S 5.8 and the SV12-equipped S model reflects a meaningful reservoir or system volume distinction between the two engines sharing the same body platform.
