Additional Notes

  • All seven configurations of the Aston Martin V12 Vantage share an identical cooling system capacity of 14 liters, spanning the coupe, Roadster, S, S Roadster, Zagato Stradale, and both GT12 power variants across the 2010-2018 model range.
  • A 14-liter cooling system capacity is notably large for a production sports car and reflects the thermal management demands of a high-displacement V12 engine, where coolant volume plays a direct role in maintaining stable operating temperatures under sustained load.
  • The coolant check interval of 16,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, applies under normal use conditions across all listed configurations. The time-based threshold means a vehicle covering low annual mileage still requires a coolant inspection on a yearly basis.
  • The coolant change interval is specified at 160,000 km or 60 months under normal use conditions. The 60-month ceiling equals five years, meaning the time limit will typically govern the change schedule for vehicles not driven at high annual mileages.
  • The ratio between the check interval and the change interval is exactly 1 to 10 on a distance basis, with checks scheduled every 16,000 km and full changes at 160,000 km. On a time basis, checks occur annually while changes are due every five years.
  • The V12 Vantage Zagato Stradale, produced during 2012-2013 as a limited coachbuilt variant, carries the same 14-liter cooling system capacity and identical service intervals as the standard V12 Vantage of the same period, indicating no cooling system differentiation for that variant.
  • The two Vantage GT12 variants, rated at 433 kW and 444 kW respectively and produced during 2015-2018, share the same 14-liter coolant capacity and service schedule despite their differing power outputs, with no variation in cooling system specifications between the two GT12 configurations.
  • The V12 Vantage S and V12 Vantage S Roadster, both spanning 2013-2018, carry the same cooling system specifications as the earlier standard V12 Vantage from 2010-2013, indicating continuity in cooling system design across the model evolution from the base variant to the S designation.
