Lancia Thema, LX
Coolant capacity & service interval
Lancia Thema and LX models use coolant with a capacity range of 9,5 to 12 liters. Service intervals include checks at 24000 km or 12 months, and changes at 160000 km or 60 months and 168000 km or 60 months. The data covers 6 configurations.

Additional Notes
- The Lancia Thema 3.0 Multijet variants, available in 140 kW and 176 kW outputs, share an identical cooling system capacity of 12 liters across the 2011-2015 model years. Despite the difference in power output between the two diesel engines, the cooling system volume remains consistent across both configurations.
- The 3.6 V6 petrol engine, in both rear-wheel-drive and AWD configurations, carries a cooling system capacity of 9.5 liters. This is notably lower than the 12-liter figure associated with the 3.0 Multijet diesel variants, reflecting differences in engine architecture and thermal management requirements between diesel and petrol powertrains.
- All six configurations share the same coolant check interval of 24,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first. Annual checks at this frequency are standard practice for modern cooling systems and serve to monitor coolant level, concentration, and condition before a full change is due.
- The 3.0 Multijet diesel variants specify a coolant change interval of 160,000 km or 60 months under normal use conditions. The 60-month figure corresponds to a five-year service life for the coolant, which is consistent with long-life coolant formulations used in modern diesel engines.
- The 3.6 V6 petrol configurations, including the AWD variants, carry a slightly longer coolant change interval of 168,000 km or 60 months under normal use conditions. The 168,000 km distance interval is 8,000 km greater than the figure specified for the Multijet diesel variants, while the time-based interval of 60 months remains the same across all configurations.
- The 3.6 V6 AWD cooling system specifications are identical to those of the rear-wheel-drive 3.6 V6, with a 9.5-liter capacity and the same check and change intervals. The addition of all-wheel drive hardware does not alter the cooling system volume or service schedule for the engine coolant.
- The 3.6 V6 rear-wheel-drive configuration spans two overlapping specification rows covering 2011-2013 and 2013-2015, both listing the same 9.5-liter capacity and identical service intervals. The same pattern applies to the 3.6 V6 AWD, with rows covering 2012-2013 and 2013-2015 sharing uniform specifications throughout.
