Additional Notes
- The Daihatsu Terios J1 1.3 cooling system holds 5.4 liters across both 2WD and 4WD configurations spanning 1997-2006, reflecting a consistent total system volume for the 1.3-liter engine regardless of drivetrain.
- When paired with an automatic transmission, the 2WD and 4WD variants from 2000-2006 show a slightly reduced capacity of 5.3 liters, a difference of 0.1 liter that likely reflects the transmission cooler circuit routing coolant through a smaller dedicated passage.
- The 4WD variant from 1997-2000 carries no separate automatic transmission capacity figure, listing only the single 5.4-liter value, which aligns with the absence of an automatic transmission option noted for that configuration.
- Coolant change intervals are set at 24 months across all three configurations, meaning the service cycle is time-based rather than mileage-based for the drain-and-refill procedure.
- The check interval for the 2WD and 4WD variants from 2000-2006 is defined purely by time at 12 months, while the 4WD variant from 1997-2000 specifies a check at 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, introducing a distance threshold not present in the later configurations.
- All three rows are designated under normal use conditions, meaning the 24-month change interval and the stated capacities apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles.
