Chrysler Stratus, Cirrus (EU)
Coolant capacity & service interval
Chrysler Stratus and Cirrus (EU) models require coolant with a capacity range of 8,1 to 9,9 liters. Service intervals require a change every 24 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

Additional Notes
- The Chrysler Stratus 2.0 carries a cooling system capacity of 8.1 liters, a figure that applies uniformly across both the 1994-1998 and 1999-2000 model year spans.
- The 2.5-liter engine fitted to the Stratus and Cirrus requires a noticeably larger cooling system fill of 9.9 liters, reflecting the greater displacement and associated thermal load of a V6 compared to the 2.0-liter four-cylinder.
- The 1.8-liter difference in coolant capacity between the 2.0 and 2.5 engines holds consistent across all four rows in the specifications, meaning neither engine variant changed its system volume between the 1994-1998 and 1999-2000 periods.
- All four configurations share a 24-month change interval under normal use conditions, placing coolant renewal on a two-year cycle regardless of engine size or model year grouping.
- A 24-month service interval for coolant is a conventional schedule associated with traditional ethylene glycol-based formulations, which degrade in corrosion inhibitor effectiveness over time rather than strictly by mileage.
- The 9.9-liter capacity of the 2.5-liter cooling system is notably close to 10 liters, which is a volume typical of larger-displacement engines in the mid-1990s European market segment and indicates a full-circuit fill rather than a partial or top-up quantity.
