Additional Notes

  • Both the Maybach 62 S (240.177/.179) and the Maybach 62 (240.178) share identical automatic transmission fluid capacities, with a dry fill of 8 liters and a service fill of 6.5 liters across all listed configurations.
  • The dry fill figure of 8 liters represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely empty or overhauled transmission, such as after a full unit replacement where the torque converter has been drained.
  • The service fill of 6.5 liters applies during a routine fluid change, where residual fluid remains in the torque converter and transmission passages, accounting for the 1.5-liter difference from the dry fill value.
  • For the Maybach 62 S (240.177/.179), the first-change-only condition carries a specified interval of 60,000 km, meaning the initial factory-fill fluid is replaced once at that mileage point under normal operating conditions.
  • The Maybach 62 (240.178), covering model years 2002-2013, carries the same 60,000 km first-change interval under the first-change-only use condition, with the same 6.5-liter service fill quantity applied at that service point.
  • A flexible (max) use condition is listed for both the 62 S and the 62 (240.178), paired with the same 8-liter dry fill and 6.5-liter service fill capacities, though no specific kilometer interval is associated with the flexible (max) entries in the specifications.
  • The Maybach 62 S designation begins with the 2006 model year, while the Maybach 62 (240.178) entries begin from 2002, reflecting the earlier introduction of the standard variant within the W240 platform.
