The amount of oil your engine needs will
depend on a number of factors, includ-
ing driving style. Higher oil consumption
can occur when
앫 the vehicle is new
앫 the vehicle is driven frequently at
higher engine speeds
Engine oil consumption checks should
only be made after the vehicle break-in
period.
! Do not use any special lubricant additives,
as these may damage the drive assemblies. Us-
ing special additives not approved by us for
use on Maybach vehicles may cause damage
not covered by the Maybach Limited
Warranty.
More information on this subject is available
at any Maybach Studio.
