Mitsubishi Colt (EU)
Coolant capacity & service interval
Mitsubishi Colt (EU) requires 5 liters of coolant. Service intervals occur every 40000 km or 24 months. The data covers 3 configurations.
The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.
| Type | Specifications |
|---|---|
| Colt 1400 Turbo, A152 (1982-1984) |
|
| Colt 1200, A151/155 (1978-1984) |
|
| Colt 1400, A152/156 (1978-1984) |

Additional Notes
- All three configurations of the Mitsubishi Colt (EU) covered in the 1978-1984 period share an identical cooling system capacity of 5 liters, indicating a uniform system volume across the 1200, 1400, and 1400 Turbo engine variants.
- A 5-liter coolant capacity is a moderate figure for small-displacement engines of the late 1970s and early 1980s, reflecting the compact nature of the A151/155, A152, and A156 platforms.
- The Colt 1400 Turbo, A152, introduced in 1982, carries the same 5-liter cooling system capacity as the naturally aspirated variants despite the added thermal load a turbocharger typically places on an engine's cooling circuit.
- The coolant change interval across all three configurations is set at 40,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, meaning whichever threshold is reached first would govern the service timing in real-world operation.
- A 24-month maximum interval, regardless of mileage, reflects the chemical degradation of coolant additives over time, which occurs independently of how much the vehicle is driven.
- The Colt 1200, A151/155, and the Colt 1400, A152/156, share both the same production span of 1978-1984 and identical coolant specifications, with no differentiation in capacity or service interval between the two displacement variants.
