  • The 3.0 V6 also carries a separate first-change-only interval expressed in metric terms, set at 80,000 km or 36 months. The 36-month time limit remains consistent between the normal and first-change-only conditions for the 3.0 V6.
  • The 4.0 V6 cooling system shares the same normal-use change interval as the 3.0 V6, at 48,000 miles or 36 months, despite the larger 11.9-liter capacity.
  • A coolant capacity of 11.1 liters in the 3.0 V6 reflects a full cooling system service fill, meaning the total volume the system holds when drained and refilled during a standard service procedure.
