Six Generations of Ingenuity Mercedes-Benz S Class

The Mercedes-Benz S Class, or Sonderklasse (German for “special class,” abbrev. “S-Klasse”) is a series of leading luxury vehicles introduced to the industry in 1972 with the W116.

You may find that oil is checked from the instrument panel. The engine coolant in the radiator is checked by looking into the radiator on older cars or on newer cars by checking the level through the translucent sides in the remote plastic coolant reservoir. Checking coolant is best done when the engine is cold.
