Daihatsu Materia
Coolant capacity & service interval
Daihatsu Materia coolant capacity ranges from 4,2 to 4,4 liters. Service intervals occur every 80000 km or 48 months. The data covers 3 configurations.
The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes
- The Daihatsu Materia 1.3 16V cooling system holds 4.2 liters of coolant, while both 1.5 16V variants — front-wheel drive and 4WD — share a slightly larger capacity of 4.4 liters.
- The 0.2-liter difference between the 1.3 and 1.5 engine cooling systems reflects the greater thermal volume associated with the larger displacement engine and its cooling jacket.
- The 4WD and front-wheel drive versions of the 1.5 16V share an identical 4.4-liter cooling system capacity, indicating the drivetrain configuration does not affect the engine cooling circuit volume.
- All three configurations carry a normal use designation, meaning the 80,000 km or 48-month change interval applies under standard operating conditions rather than demanding or severe duty cycles.
- The 48-month time limit on the coolant change interval is significant because coolant additives degrade over time regardless of mileage, so a vehicle driven infrequently would still reach the service point by calendar date before the distance threshold.
- An 80,000 km coolant change interval is a relatively extended service schedule, consistent with modern long-life coolant formulations that maintain corrosion inhibitor effectiveness over greater distances than older coolant types.
- The cooling system capacities listed represent the full system fill volume, which includes the radiator, engine block passages, heater core circuit, and expansion reservoir, rather than a partial drain-and-refill figure.
