Additional Notes

  • The DAF 55 1100 carries a cooling system capacity of 4.8 liters across all three configurations covered in the 1967-1972 specifications.
  • A 4.8-liter cooling system capacity is a relatively modest figure, consistent with the small-displacement 1100cc engine family the DAF 55 was built around.
  • All three configurations share an identical 12-month coolant change interval under normal use conditions, meaning annual service applies regardless of trim or production year.
  • The 55 1100 in its 1967-1969 form and the revised 1970-1972 form carry no difference in cooling system capacity or service interval, indicating no mechanical changes affected the cooling circuit between those two production periods.
  • The 55 1100 Marathon, produced in 1971-1972, shares the same 4.8-liter capacity and 12-month change interval as the standard 55 1100 of the same era, placing both variants on an identical coolant service schedule.
