Additional Notes
- The Daihatsu Terios J2 1.5 16V cooling system holds 4.6 liters in manual transmission configurations, which represents the full system fill volume including the engine block, cylinder head passages, and radiator.
- Automatic transmission variants of the 1.5 16V carry a slightly reduced coolant capacity of 4.4 liters, a difference of 0.2 liters attributed to the altered underhood packaging and coolant routing associated with automatic transmission cooling circuits.
- The 4.6-liter and 4.4-liter capacity figures apply equally across both 2WD and 4WD drivetrain configurations, indicating the drivetrain layout has no measurable effect on cooling system volume in the 1.5 16V engine.
- The coolant change interval is set at 80,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, meaning whichever threshold is reached first triggers a service requirement.
- A 48-month maximum interval translates to a four-year ceiling on coolant service life regardless of mileage accumulation, which reflects the chemical degradation of corrosion inhibitors in coolant over time independent of vehicle use.
- All four configurations spanning 2006-2014, covering both 2WD and 4WD variants across the 2006-2011 and 2011-2014 production periods, share identical capacity and interval specifications for the cooling system.
