Additional Notes

  • The Maybach 62 S (240.177/.179) and the Maybach 62 (240.178) share an identical rear differential fluid capacity range of 1.6 to 1.9 liters, indicating a service fill specification rather than a full overhaul volume.
  • A capacity expressed as a range rather than a fixed value reflects normal variation introduced by fluid retained in the differential housing during a drain, meaning the actual refill quantity depends on how completely the old fluid evacuates.
  • Both configurations carry a 40,000 km change interval under normal use conditions, applying equally to the 240.177, 240.179, and 240.178 chassis designations.
  • The 62 S variants, chassis codes 240.177 and 240.179, cover model years 2006-2013, while the standard 62 on chassis 240.178 spans 2002-2013, meaning the 62 S entered the specification set four years after the base model.
