Lancia Ypsilon

Coolant capacity & service interval

Lancia Ypsilon coolant capacity ranges from 4,45 to 5,5 liters. Service intervals include checks at 500 km and changes at 60000 km/48 months or 24 months. The data covers 7 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Lancia Ypsilon 1.4 12V carries the largest cooling system capacity across all listed configurations, at 5.5 liters without air conditioning. All other engine variants fall below 5 liters, making the 1.4 12V a notable outlier in total coolant volume for the range.
  • Air conditioning affects coolant capacity differently depending on the engine. On the 1.2 (1996-2000), adding air conditioning reduces capacity from 4.67 liters to 4.45 liters, while on the 1.4 12V, air conditioning reduces capacity more sharply, from 5.5 liters down to 4.8 liters. A reduction in coolant volume with air conditioning typically reflects space taken up by additional components within the engine bay.
  • The 1.1, 1.2 (2000-2002), 1.2 16V (1997-2000), and 1.2 16V (2000-2002) all share an identical cooling system capacity of 4.5 liters under normal use conditions.
  • A 500 km post-service check interval appears across all normal-use configurations. At that mileage point, coolant level verification accounts for any settling or minor loss that can occur after a system refill or service.
  • Under normal use, the standard coolant change interval across all listed configurations is 60,000 km or 48 months, whichever comes first. The dual-trigger format means time elapsed can mandate a change even when mileage has not been reached, which is relevant for low-mileage vehicles.
  • The 1.2 (1996-2000) is the only configuration with a separate severe-use specification. Under severe conditions, the change interval shortens to 24 months with no mileage threshold listed, compared to the 60,000 km or 48-month interval that applies under normal use.
  • The 1.2 engine spans two distinct production sub-ranges, 1996-2000 and 2000-2002, with differing capacity figures. The earlier sub-range lists two capacity values depending on air conditioning fitment, while the later sub-range lists a single 4.5-liter figure regardless of air conditioning.
