Additional Notes

  • The Hyundai Santa Cruz 2.5 GDI AWD carries a cooling system capacity of 9.5 liters, a figure consistent with a full-system service fill that accounts for the radiator, engine block passages, heater core, and associated hoses rather than a partial drain-and-fill.
  • Under normal use conditions, the cooling system interval is set at 24,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first, meaning the coolant is replaced on a relatively frequent cycle compared to extended-life schedules found on other platforms.
  • A separate first-change-only interval of 120,000 miles or 120 months applies to the 2.5 GDI AWD cooling system, indicating the factory-fill coolant is formulated to remain in service for a significantly longer initial period before the standard recurring interval takes effect.
  • The 120-month first-change interval translates to a full decade of service life for the original coolant charge, which reflects the use of a long-life coolant type at the factory rather than a conventional formula requiring more frequent replacement from the outset.
  • Both the normal and first-change-only entries share the same 9.5-liter capacity figure, confirming the system volume remains constant regardless of which service interval applies.
