Additional Notes

  • The Dodge Stratus 2.0 (USA) carries a cooling system capacity of 8.1 liters, a figure that applies consistently across both the 1994-1998 and 1999-2000 model year groups.
  • The 2.5-liter engine fitted to the Stratus and Cirrus (USA) requires a noticeably larger 9.9-liter cooling system fill, reflecting the greater displacement and associated thermal load of a V6 compared to the 2.0-liter four-cylinder.
  • The 1.8-liter difference in coolant capacity between the 2.0 and 2.5 engine configurations is consistent across both the 1994-1998 and 1999-2000 periods, indicating no revision to system volume occurred between those model year groups for either engine.
  • A 24-month change interval under normal use conditions applies to all four configurations listed, meaning coolant renewal is tied to elapsed time rather than mileage in every case represented here.
  • The 9.9-liter capacity of the 2.5-liter cooling system places it in a range typical of larger four-cylinder and V6 passenger car applications, where additional coolant volume supports heat dissipation across a greater number of cylinders and a larger block mass.
