Additional Notes

  • The Fiat 124 Spider BA (USA) cooling system capacity differs by transmission type on the 1.4 Turbo: the automatic transmission variant holds 7.1 liters, while the manual transmission variant holds a slightly larger 7.2 liters.
  • The 124 Spider Abarth 1.4 Turbo lists a capacity range of 7.1-7.2 liters for the cooling system, which spans the same values seen across both transmission configurations of the standard 1.4 Turbo.
  • Both the 1.4 Turbo and the Abarth 1.4 Turbo share an identical coolant change interval of 150,000 miles or 120 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions.
  • A 120-month interval equals 10 years, meaning the time-based threshold for coolant replacement is a long-cycle specification rather than a short routine service interval.
  • The 150,000-mile distance interval is notably high relative to many other vehicle cooling systems, reflecting the long-life coolant formulations typically associated with such extended service schedules.
