Additional Notes

  • The Mazda Cosmo/121 1800 CD and 2000 CD, both covering 1975-1981, share an identical cooling system capacity of 7.5 liters, which represents the total volume of the cooling circuit including the radiator, engine block passages, and heater core.
  • A 7.5-liter cooling system capacity is a moderately sized figure for passenger cars of that era, consistent with inline four-cylinder or small displacement engines requiring adequate thermal management without the larger volumes associated with six-cylinder configurations.
  • The coolant change interval for both the 1800 CD and 2000 CD is specified at 40,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, meaning whichever threshold is reached first would govern the service timing.
  • A 24-month maximum interval regardless of mileage reflects the chemical degradation of coolant additives over time, particularly corrosion inhibitors, which break down independently of how many kilometers the vehicle has traveled.
  • The fact that the 1800 CD and 2000 CD carry the same 7.5-liter capacity despite differing engine displacements suggests the two variants shared the same cooling circuit architecture across the 1975-1981 production span.
