Additional Notes

  • The Maybach 62 S (240.177/.179) and the Maybach 62 (240.178) share an identical cooling system capacity of 17 liters, applying equally across both variants regardless of use condition.
  • A 17-liter coolant capacity places both the 62 S and 62 in the range typical of large-displacement, high-output engines, where greater thermal mass in the cooling circuit is necessary to manage heat load effectively.
  • Under normal use conditions, both the 62 S and the 62 carry a coolant change interval of 36 months, which is a time-based schedule independent of distance traveled.
  • The initial service interval for both variants extends to 250,000 km or 180 months, whichever comes first, reflecting a factory-fill coolant formulation rated for significantly longer service life before the first change is required.
  • 180 months equals 15 years, meaning the initial service coolant fill on both the 62 S and the 62 is specified to last the equivalent of a very long ownership period before the first scheduled replacement.
  • Following the initial service change, the interval resets to the normal 36-month cycle, representing a substantial reduction from the 180-month factory-fill specification.
  • The 240.177/.179 designation for the 62 S covers production from 2006-2013, while the 240.178 designation for the 62 spans 2002-2013, meaning the standard 62 has a longer production window within the W240 platform.
