Additional Notes

  • Both the Maybach 57 (240.078) and the Maybach 57 S (240.077/.079) share identical automatic transmission fluid capacities: 8 liters for a dry fill and 6.5 liters for a service fill.
  • The dry fill figure of 8 liters represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely empty transmission, such as after a full overhaul or component replacement.
  • The service fill of 6.5 liters reflects the amount needed during a routine fluid change, accounting for residual fluid that remains in the torque converter and transmission passages after draining.
  • The difference of 1.5 liters between dry and service fill capacities is a practical consideration, as overfilling to the dry fill volume during a standard service would result in excess fluid in the transmission.
  • For both the Maybach 57 and Maybach 57 S, the first-change-only interval is set at 60,000 km, meaning a fluid change is specified at that mileage point under normal operating conditions.
  • The Maybach 57 S carries chassis codes 240.077 and 240.079, while the Maybach 57 is identified under code 240.078, reflecting distinct variants within the W240 platform despite sharing the same transmission fluid specifications.
  • A flexible (max) use condition is listed for both variants without an associated interval figure, indicating the maximum permissible interval is determined adaptively rather than by a fixed mileage or time value.
