MAYBACH 57 - Gasoline Additives; Coolants

Technical data
Fuels, coolants, lubricants, etc.
A major concern among engine manu-
facturers is carbon build-up caused by
gasoline. We recommend only the use of
quality gasoline containing additives
that prevent the build-up of carbon de-
posits.
After an extended period of using fuels
without such additives, carbon deposits
can build up especially on the intake
valves and in the combustion area, lead-
ing to engine performance problems
such as:
 Warm-up hesitation
 Unstable idle
 Knocking/pinging
 Misfire
 Power loss
In areas where carbon deposits may be
encountered due to lack of availability of
gasolines which contain these additives,
we recommend only the use of additives
approved by us for use on Maybach vehi-
cles. Refer to Factory Approved Service
Products Pamphlet for a listing of ap-
proved product(s). Follow directions on
product label.
Do not blend any specific fuel additives
with fuel. This only results in unnecessary
costs and may be harmful to the engine
operation.
Damage or malfunction resulting from
poor fuel quality or from blending addi-
tional fuel additives other than those
tested and approved by us for use on
Maybach vehicles listed in the Factory
Approved Service Products Pamphlet are
not covered by the Maybach Limited
Warranty.
The engine coolant is a mixture of water
and anticorrosion/antifreeze, which pro-
vides:
 Corrosion protection
 Freeze protection
 Boiling protection (by increasing the
boiling point)
The cooling system was filled at the fac-
tory with a coolant providing freeze pro-
tection to approximately –22°F (–30°C)
and corrosion protection.
If the antifreeze mixture is effective to
–22°F (–30°C), the boiling point of the
coolant in the pressurized cooling system
is reached at approximately 266°F
(130°C).
The coolant solution must be used year
round to provide the necessary corrosion
protection and increase in the boil-over
protection. Refer to Maintenance Book-
let for replacement interval.
Coolant system design and coolant used
stipulate the replacement interval. The
replacement interval published in the
Maintenance Booklet is only applicable if
MB 325.0 anticorrosion/antifreeze solu-
tion or other products approved by us for
use on Maybach vehicles of equal specifi-
cation (see Factory Approved Service
Products pamphlet) are used to renew
the coolant concentration or bring it
back up to the proper level.
