Fuels, coolants, lubricants, etc.
During vehicle operation, the boiling
point of the brake fluid is continuously
reduced through the absorption of mois-
ture from the atmosphere. Under ex-
tremely strenuous operating conditions,
this moisture content can lead to the for-
mation of bubbles in the system, thus re-
ducing the system’s efficiency.
Therefore, the brake fluid must be re-
placed every two years, preferably in the
spring.
Only brake fluid approved by us for use
on Maybach vehicles is recommended.
Your authorized Maybach Studio will
provide you with additional information.
Use only premium unleaded fuel
The octane number (posted at the
pump) must be 91 min. It is an aver-
age of both the Research (R) octane
number and the Motor (M) octane
number: (R+M)/2. This is also known
as the ANTI-KNOCK INDEX.
Unleaded gasoline containing oxygen-
ates such as Ethanol, IPA, IBA and TBA
can be used provided the ratio of any
one of these oxygenates to gasoline does
not exceed 10%; MTBE must not exceed
15%.
The ratio of Methanol to gasoline must
not exceed 3% plus additional cosol-
vents.
Using mixtures of Ethanol and Methanol
is not allowed. Gasohol, which contains
10% Ethanol and 90% unleaded gaso-
line, can be used.
These blends must also meet all other
fuel requirements, such as resistance to
spark knock, boiling range, vapor pres-
sure, etc.
Brake fluid Premium unleaded gasoline
!
To maintain the engine’s durability
and performance, premium unleaded
gasoline must be used. If premium
unleaded is not available and low oc-
tane fuel is used, follow these precau-
tions:
Have the fuel tank only partially
filled with unleaded regular and
fill up with premium unleaded as
soon as possible.
Avoid full throttle driving and
abrupt acceleration.
Do not exceed an engine speed of
3000 rpm if the vehicle is loaded
with a light load such as two per-
sons and no luggage.
Do not exceed 2/3 of maximum ac-
celerator pedal position if the ve-
hicle is fully loaded or operating in
mountainous terrain.
