Additional Notes

  • The Mercedes-Benz S-Class W223/V223 brake fluid service interval is 24 months across all listed configurations, applying under normal use conditions.
  • The S 500 4MATIC (223.063/163) is the only configuration in the lineup carrying a discrete brake fluid capacity figure, specified at 0.6 liter for the hydraulic brake system with ABS.
  • A discrete volume like 0.6 liter typically reflects a service fill quantity rather than a full system overhaul volume, meaning the reservoir is topped or replaced within that measure during routine maintenance.
  • The S 580 4MATIC (223.076/176/976), S 580 e 4MATIC (223.069/169/969), and S 680 4MATIC Maybach (223.979) all specify fluid level as "between min and max" rather than a fixed volume, indicating reservoir-level verification as the service reference point.
  • The S 580 e 4MATIC carries chassis codes 223.069/169/969, reflecting a plug-in hybrid variant within the W223/V223 platform, yet the brake fluid change interval of 24 months under normal use remains consistent with the non-electrified configurations.
  • The S 680 4MATIC Maybach (223.979) shares the same 24-month brake fluid change interval and "between min and max" fill specification as the standard S 580 4MATIC, despite representing the extended-wheelbase V223 body variant.
