Wonderful video! I'd like to note that the S500 actually has a 5.0 M113. The M113K not only had the supercharger, but was also hand-made with built up internals and large displacement bringing it up to 5.4. Both amazing cars.
@@goldelementautoworks I drove my w126 300sd OM617 all over America as a 22 year old. Had over 300,000 miles, big turbo, big injection pump, big intercooler, and I beat on it hard every day. Never had a single issue with it, drove as good as the day I bought it when I sold it. Keep making good videos man, I’m in the market for an s55 AMG this spring after falling in love with my 06 S430.
@@redrhino1911 Thank you! That’s good information to know. I’ve always heard of Mercedes diesels being reliable. Very impressive bro. I’ll keep this in mind. I have a S55 that I’ll be working on soon. More vids on the way!
@@Fernandonelu Yes. And fortunately the car will tell you when to add a qt of oil. The older these motors are, higher the mileage….they begin to burn oil.
@@Guillen509WA The W221 is a good drivetrain. Some have had transmission issues. But the 7-speed is a smooth and very effective transmission. And the 4matic is excellent.
I have a '06 S55. I absolutely love it and it will never leave my ownership.
I actually have both of these cars. 210k on the s500 and 110k on the S55. I love them both, my s500 has been bulletproof.
I’m thinking about getting an S500 03-06! This just boosted my confidence 💪🏾

@@perlewitzaudio Well explained. Thank you!
I am obsessed with these generations of mercedes 😃😃😃😃
I own a w221 S600 M275 same engine as the S65 , so far it's been OK, just a few little thing here in there but nothing major thanks God.
Love this car, lots of luck with her and keep the videos coming!!
Love Love these cars over the E55!!
Bang for the buck your correct! These are the best!!
MORE S55 AMG CONTENT KEEP IT UP 👌🏽
@@maliknolan5711 Thank you sir!!
If we’re talking most reliable Benz motor ever made, the OM617 is by far the winner. Gasoline motors, the m113 takes the crown, yes.
@@redrhino1911 You just taught me something. The popular diesel engine. Thank you.👌🏾

S 500 5.0 liter v8
Check your oil bro. These cars like to drink
@@Fernandonelu Yes. And fortunately the car will tell you when to add a qt of oil. The older these motors are, higher the mileage….they begin to burn oil.
If I have one do you do service and maintenance ???
@@maliknolan5711 More S55 content coming. Maintenance that I’m willing to do depends on what needs to be done…….
What do you think about the drive train on the w221 s550? I feel like they are strong reliable, as far as mine goes anyways
@@Guillen509WA The W221 is a good drivetrain. Some have had transmission issues. But the 7-speed is a smooth and very effective transmission. And the 4matic is excellent.
Has anybody tried converting the s55 engine into the s500 is it possible?
@@Jeygolive You can install it. But you’ll be lacking in other areas. The S55 has beefier suspension, exhaust system and transmission.
