Additional Notes
- The Maybach 62 S (chassis 240.177/.179) and the Maybach 62 (chassis 240.178) share an identical brake fluid capacity of 2.2 liters for the hydraulic brake system.
- A 2.2-liter capacity is relatively substantial for a brake fluid system, reflecting the scale and complexity of the hydraulic circuit across a full-size luxury vehicle platform.
- Both configurations carry a 24-month change interval, which is a time-based schedule rather than a mileage-based one, consistent with how brake fluid service is typically structured given moisture absorption over time.
- The 24-month interval is specified under normal use conditions for both the 62 S and the 62, meaning no shortened interval is listed for severe operating conditions in these specifications.
- The 62 S variants, designated 240.177 and 240.179, share the same 2.2-liter capacity and 24-month interval as the standard 62 (240.178), indicating no divergence in brake fluid service requirements between the two power variants.
- The Maybach 62 S entered production from 2006, while the Maybach 62 dates from 2002, yet both converge on the same brake fluid specifications throughout the period covered.
