Chrysler Sunbeam (USA / CAN)

Coolant capacity & service interval

Chrysler Sunbeam (USA / CAN) requires coolant with a capacity range of 4,5 to 7,3 liters. Service intervals include a check every 7500 km. The data covers 4 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Chrysler Sunbeam (USA / CAN) cooling system capacity for the 1.0-liter engine is 4.5 liters, which is notably smaller than the 7.3-liter figure shared by the three larger engine variants.
  • The 1.3, 1.6, and 1600 Ti variants all share an identical cooling system capacity of 7.3 liters, despite differences in displacement and engine configuration.
  • The 1600 Ti has a narrower model year range of 1978-1980, compared to the 1977-1980 span of the 1.0, 1.3, and 1.6 variants.
  • All four engine variants carry a coolant check interval of 7500 km, applied under normal use conditions.
  • The 4.5-liter capacity of the 1.0-liter engine reflects a physically smaller cooling circuit, consistent with the reduced thermal output of a smaller displacement engine relative to the 1.3 and above.
  • The shared 7.3-liter capacity across the 1.3, 1.6, and 1600 Ti suggests a common cooling circuit architecture among those three engine families, despite the performance-oriented nature of the 1600 Ti.
