Additional Notes

  • The Mazda MPV LW (EU) 2.0 16V carries a base cooling system capacity of 11.2 liters, rising to 12.0 liters when the rear heater circuit is included, indicating the rear heater adds nearly 0.8 liters of additional coolant volume to the system.
  • The 2.5 V6-24V is the only engine in the 1999-2002 range without a listed rear heater capacity variant, with a single figure of 12.0 liters covering the cooling system fill.
  • Both 1999-2002 engines, the 2.0 16V and the 2.5 V6-24V, share a coolant change interval of 90,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, which is a notably extended service interval compared to the 2003-2005 engines.
  • All three 2003-2005 engines, the 2.0 CiTD, 2.3 16V, and 3.0 V6-24V, carry a coolant check interval of 40,000 km or 24 months alongside a separate change interval stated only as 24 months, without a distance figure attached to the change interval.
  • The 2.0 CiTD diesel engine has the smallest base cooling system capacity among all listed configurations at 8.6 liters, while the rear heater variant brings the total to 10.7 liters.
  • The 2.3 16V and 2.0 CiTD have closely matched rear heater capacities of 10.5 liters and 10.7 liters respectively, yet their base capacities differ, with the 2.3 16V holding 8.8 liters versus 8.6 liters for the diesel.
  • The 3.0 V6-24V has the largest rear heater capacity among the 2003-2005 engines at 12.4 liters, and also the largest base capacity in that group at 10.6 liters.
  • Across the full range, the rear heater option consistently adds between 0.8 and 2.1 liters depending on the engine, with the 3.0 V6-24V showing the greatest difference between base and rear heater fill volumes.
