Additional Notes

  • The Hyundai Palisade LX2 (USA) 3.8 GDI cooling system holds 12 liters across all listed configurations, covering both FWD and AWD drivetrains for the 2019-2022 model years.
  • A 12-liter cooling system capacity is consistent with a large V6-powered SUV, where the engine block, cylinder heads, heater core, and radiator together account for a substantial total fluid volume.
  • The normal-use change interval for the 3.8 GDI and 3.8 GDI AWD covering 2019-2022 is 30,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first.
  • Starting with the 2022 configuration, the normal-use change interval for both the 3.8 GDI and 3.8 GDI AWD is reduced to 24,000 miles or 24 months, a shorter mileage threshold compared to the 2019-2022 interval while retaining the same 24-month time limit.
  • The initial service interval across all listed configurations is 120,000 miles or 120 months. In coolant service terminology, an initial service interval refers to the first scheduled change from the factory fill, which is typically a longer-life formulation.
  • The 120-month initial service interval equals 10 years, indicating the factory-fill coolant in all listed configurations is rated as a long-life fluid before the first replacement is due.
  • The AWD variants share identical capacity and interval specifications with the FWD variants for both the 2019-2022 and 2022 configurations, meaning the addition of the AWD drivetrain does not alter the cooling system service parameters.
