Additional Notes
- The rear differential on the Maybach 57 S (240.077/.079) and the Maybach 57 (240.078) both carry a fluid capacity of 1.9 liters, which is consistent with a service fill volume rather than a full overhaul quantity.
- A 1.9-liter capacity in a rear differential of this class reflects a limited-slip or conventional open differential unit sized for a large luxury sedan platform, where the housing volume is moderate relative to the drivetrain's torque demands.
- The specified change interval for both configurations is 40,000 km under normal use conditions, meaning the interval applies to standard driving rather than towing, track use, or other demanding operating patterns.
- The 240.077/.079 chassis codes distinguish the 57 S from the 240.078 of the standard 57, yet both share an identical rear differential fluid capacity and change interval, indicating the rear axle unit is common across the two variants despite differing engine outputs.
- The 57 S specifications apply from 2006-2013, while the standard 57 (240.078) specifications cover 2002-2013, meaning the 57 S entered the model range four years after the standard variant.
