Additional Notes

  • The Mercedes-Benz S-Class W223/V223 coolant change interval is uniform across all listed configurations at 124,000 miles or 120 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The S 500 4MATIC carries a primary cooling system capacity of 13 liters, which is the smallest primary circuit volume among the listed configurations, reflecting the smaller displacement of the M256 inline-six engine relative to the V8 and V12 units in other trims.
  • A secondary cooling circuit of 2.5 liters is specified for the S 500 4MATIC, a separate loop commonly used to manage heat from ancillary components such as the integrated starter-generator or power electronics in mild-hybrid systems.
  • The S 580 4MATIC primary cooling system holds 15.2 liters, a notably larger volume than the S 500 4MATIC primary circuit, consistent with the greater thermal output of the M176 V8 engine.
  • The S 580 4MATIC secondary circuit is listed at 2.3 liters, slightly smaller than the 2.5-liter secondary circuit of the S 500 4MATIC despite the larger primary system.
  • The S 580 e 4MATIC plug-in hybrid carries a combined cooling system capacity of 17 liters across its primary circuit, the largest single primary or general cooling system figure in the listed data, reflecting the additional thermal management demands of the hybrid powertrain.
  • The S 580 e 4MATIC secondary circuit is specified at 6.8 liters, substantially larger than the secondary circuits of the non-hybrid S 500 and S 580 variants, a difference attributable to the high-voltage battery and electric motor components that require dedicated liquid cooling in plug-in hybrid architectures.
  • The S 680 4MATIC Maybach primary cooling system holds 16 liters, appropriate for the M279 V12 engine, which generates considerable heat across a larger number of cylinders and a higher displacement than the V8 units.
  • An intercooler circuit of 5 liters is separately listed for the S 680 4MATIC Maybach, representing a dedicated loop for the charge-air cooling system on the twin-turbocharged V12, a circuit type not present in the non-Maybach configurations within the listed data.
