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:
앫 Warm-up hesitation
앫 Unstable idle
앫 Knocking/pinging
앫 Misfire
앫 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 (USA only) or contact
an authorized Maybach Studio for a list-
ing of approved product(s). Follow direc-
tions on product label.
Do not blend other fuel additives with
fuel. This only results in unnecessary cost
and may be harmful to the engine oper-
ation.
! Damage or malfunction resulting from
poor fuel quality or from blending additional
fuel additives other than those tested and ap-
proved by us for use on Maybach vehicles are
not covered by the Maybach Limited
Warranty.

The engine coolant is a mixture of water
and anticorrosion/antifreeze, which pro-
vides:
앫 Corrosion protection
앫 Freeze protection
앫 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 -35°F (-37°C)
and corrosion protection.
! Add premixed coolant solution only.
Adding water and MB 325.0 Anticorrosion/
Antifreeze separately from each other, could
cause engine damage not covered by the
Maybach Limited Warranty.
If the antifreeze mixture is effective to
-35°F (-37°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.
