Additional Notes

  • The Daihatsu Applause 1.6i carries a base cooling system capacity of 5.1 liters, which represents the standard service fill volume for the manual transmission configuration across the 1989-1997 production span.
  • When the 1.6i (1989-1997) is fitted with an automatic transmission, the cooling system capacity rises to 5.6 liters, reflecting the additional fluid volume required to service the transmission cooler circuit integrated into the cooling loop.
  • The 1.6i 16V (1997-1999) with automatic transmission carries a cooling system capacity of 5.4 liters, which is 0.2 liters less than the automatic transmission figure for the earlier 1.6i, indicating a difference in cooler circuit design between the two generations.
  • The 1.6 Zi 4WD (1989-1997) shares the 5.1-liter cooling system capacity with the manual transmission 1.6i of the same period, despite the added mechanical complexity of the four-wheel-drive drivetrain.
  • The 1989-1997 variants, covering both the 1.6 Zi 4WD and the 1.6i, follow a coolant change interval of 40,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, representing a longer calendar-based interval compared to later model years.
  • Starting with the 1.6i 16V (1997-1999), the coolant change interval shifts to 24 months without a stated distance figure, marking a move toward a purely time-based replacement schedule rather than the combined distance-and-time approach used in earlier variants.
  • The 1.6i 16V (1997-1999) introduces a periodic coolant check interval of 10,000 km or 12 months under normal use, a maintenance step not present in the specifications for the 1989-1997 variants.
  • For the 1.6i 16V (1999-2001), the coolant check interval extends to 15,000 km while retaining the 12-month calendar limit, indicating a relaxed distance-based inspection frequency compared to the 1997-1999 version of the same engine variant.
