Additional Notes

  • The Bristol 408 (1963-1965) cooling system carries a capacity of 18.5 liters, which represents a notably large volume for a passenger car of that era and reflects the demands of the engine bay's thermal management requirements.
  • The 18.5-liter figure applies to the full cooling system, indicating a service fill measurement that accounts for the radiator, engine block passages, hoses, and heater circuit combined.
  • The single capacity value of 18.5 liters is specified under normal use conditions, meaning the interval and fill quantity are tied to standard operating environments rather than severe or high-stress driving cycles.
