Additional Notes

  • The Dodge Shadow AP's cooling system capacity stands at 8.5 liters across both the 2.2 Turbo and 2.5 engine configurations, indicating a full system service fill rather than a partial top-off volume.
  • The 2.2 Turbo variant covers model years 1986-1988, while the 2.5 variant spans 1986-1990, meaning the two engines share an overlapping production window of three years before the 2.2 Turbo's coverage ends.
  • Both engine variants carry an identical coolant change interval of 48,000 miles or 36 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The 36-month time-based interval alongside the 48,000-mile mileage threshold reflects a dual-trigger service structure, where either limit reaching its value is sufficient to prompt a coolant change under normal use.
  • The 8.5-liter capacity figure applies to the USA market specification for both engine types, as indicated by the USA designation in each row.
