Is this the OEM Mercedes-Benz S560 manual or an aftermarket guide?

The OEM version. It carries the procedures, specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams Mercedes-Benz published for the S560, organized by system — not a condensed aftermarket summary.

18 recalls are on federal record across the 2018–2020 S560, listed by year below. The manual carries the manufacturer's diagnostic and repair procedures behind the systems involved; the recall repairs themselves are performed free by Mercedes-Benz dealers.

Why do some S560 years cost more?

Every S560 year is $40.99.
