Additional Notes
- The Daimler V8 cooling system holds 10 liters across both the 4.0 V8 and 4.0 V8 Compressor variants for the 1998-2002 model years, a figure that reflects the total system fill volume rather than a partial top-up quantity.
- Under normal use conditions, the 4.0 V8 carries a coolant change interval of 96,000 km or 48 months, whichever comes first, meaning the interval is capped by both distance and time.
- Under severe use conditions, the same 4.0 V8 coolant change interval shortens to every 6 months, with no distance figure attached, making elapsed time the sole governing factor in severe service.
- The 4.0 V8 Compressor shares the identical 10-liter capacity and the same normal-use interval of 96,000 km or 48 months as the naturally aspirated 4.0 V8, indicating no capacity or schedule difference between the two engine variants under normal conditions.
- Under severe use conditions, the 4.0 V8 Compressor also follows a 6-month coolant change interval, matching the naturally aspirated engine's severe-service schedule exactly.
