Additional Notes
- The Mitsubishi Galant VIII (EU) 2.0 Turbo Diesel carries the largest cooling system capacity across all listed configurations at 8 liters, which reflects the additional thermal load a turbocharged diesel engine places on the cooling circuit compared to naturally aspirated petrol variants.
- The 2.0i SOHC-16V and the 2.5i V6-24V share an identical cooling system capacity of 6 liters, despite the V6 having a larger displacement and more cylinders, indicating the two engines have comparable total coolant volume requirements.
- The 2.4 GDi sits at 7 liters, placing its cooling system capacity between the 6-liter petrol variants and the 8-liter turbocharged diesel, a figure consistent with the higher thermal output of a larger-displacement direct-injection petrol engine.
- All four configurations follow the same check interval of every 30,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions.
- The coolant change interval across all listed variants is 60,000 km or 48 months under normal use, meaning the fluid is renewed at twice the distance and time span of the check interval.
- The 2.4 GDi is listed from 1999-2004, a narrower production window than the 1996-2004 span shared by the 2.0 Turbo Diesel, 2.0i SOHC-16V, and 2.5i V6-24V configurations.
