Additional Notes
- The Maybach 57 S (chassis 240.077/.079) and the Maybach 57 (chassis 240.078) share an identical power steering fluid capacity range of 1.3 to 1.5 liters, listed under a flexible maximum use condition.
- A capacity expressed as a range rather than a fixed value typically reflects variation introduced by residual fluid retained in the system, meaning the actual fill amount at service can fall anywhere within 1.3 to 1.5 liters depending on how completely the old fluid was evacuated.
- The flexible maximum designation applied to both configurations indicates the capacity figure represents the upper boundary of a fill that is not tied to a fixed drain-and-refill interval, allowing service timing to vary based on fluid condition assessment rather than a strict mileage or time schedule.
- The 57 S variant, covering chassis codes 240.077 and 240.079, carries a production window starting in 2006, while the standard 57 on chassis 240.078 has a starting year of 2002, meaning the two share overlapping service years but the 57 S entered the specification set four years later.
