Additional Notes

  • The Mercedes-Benz S-Class W223/V223 automatic transmission fluid capacity for the S 500 4MATIC (223.063/163) is listed as a fixed 10 liters, which represents a service fill figure rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill volume.
  • The S 580 4MATIC (223.076/176/976) carries a capacity range of 10-11 liters, meaning the actual fill volume can vary within that band depending on the specific transmission state or residual fluid retained during a service drain.
  • The S 580 e 4MATIC (223.069/169/969) shares the same 10-11 liter capacity range as the non-plug-in S 580 4MATIC, despite the addition of hybrid drivetrain components in the plug-in variant.
  • The S 680 4MATIC Maybach (223.979) also falls within the 10-11 liter capacity range under normal use conditions, aligning with the S 580 variants rather than the fixed 10-liter figure of the S 500.
  • All four configurations share an identical service interval of 77,500 miles under normal use conditions, applying uniformly across the inline-six, V8, and V12 engine variants represented in the lineup.
  • The 77,500-mile change interval is specified exclusively for normal use conditions across all listed rows, with no separate severe-use interval appearing in the specifications for any of the four configurations.
  • The S 500 4MATIC stands apart from the three remaining configurations in having a single fixed capacity value rather than a range, which may reflect a tighter fill tolerance associated with the transmission variant paired to the inline-six powertrain in chassis codes 223.063 and 223.163.
