Glas 1700

Coolant capacity & service interval

The Glas 1700 coolant specifications cover a capacity range of 7.5 to 8.5 liters. The data includes three configurations. No service intervals are specified.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Glas 1700 produced in 1964-1965 carries a cooling system capacity of 8.5 liters, which is a notably larger fill volume compared to the later variant of the same model.
  • From 1965 onward, the standard 1700 cooling system capacity was reduced to 7.5 liters, representing a difference of one full liter relative to the earlier 1964-1965 specification.
  • The 1700 TS variant, covering 1965-1968, shares the 7.5-liter cooling system capacity with the revised standard 1700 of the same period, indicating no differentiation between the two configurations in this respect.
  • All three configurations list a normal use condition, meaning the 8.5-liter and 7.5-liter figures apply to standard operating circumstances rather than severe or special-duty service.
  • A cooling system capacity in the 7.5 to 8.5-liter range is consistent with a water-cooled engine of moderate displacement, where the larger figure in the 1964-1965 model may reflect a different coolant circuit layout or a larger reservoir arrangement in that production period.
