Additional Notes

  • The DeLorean DMC-12 cooling system holds 11 liters of coolant, a figure that reflects the total system capacity rather than a partial service fill.
  • The 11-liter capacity applies to normal use conditions across the 1981-1982 model years, with no separate severe-use interval listed in the specifications.
  • An 11-liter cooling system capacity is relatively modest, consistent with the DMC-12's rear-mounted 2.85-liter PRV V6 engine, which has a smaller thermal footprint than larger front-mounted engines of the same era.
