Morris Marina, ADO28

Coolant capacity & service interval

Morris Marina and ADO28 models utilize coolant with a capacity range of 4,26 to 5,1 liters. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications

Marina 1.8 (1975-1978)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 4,26 liter (+ heater)
Marina 1.3 (1971-1975)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 4,26 liter (+ heater)
Marina 1.8 (1971-1975)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 5,1 liter (+ heater)

Additional Notes

  • The Morris Marina 1.3 carries a coolant capacity of 4.26 liters across both the 1971-1975 and 1975-1980 variants, with the heater circuit adding volume beyond that base figure.
  • The 4.26-liter figure represents the cooling system fill excluding the heater, meaning actual service fill volume rises once the heater circuit is included in the bleed and top-up procedure.
  • The Marina 1.8 produced between 1971-1975 holds a notably larger cooling system capacity of 5.1 liters plus heater, compared to the 1.3 engine of the same period at 4.26 liters plus heater.
  • A capacity reduction is recorded for the 1.8 engine between the two production periods: the 1971-1975 variant specifies 5.1 liters, while the 1975-1978 variant drops to 4.26 liters, matching the 1.3 engine figure.
  • All four configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the stated capacities apply under standard operating circumstances rather than severe-duty cycles.
  • The parenthetical notation of "+ heater" across all rows indicates the heater matrix and associated hoses form a separate volume that is not absorbed into the base capacity figure, a common characteristic of closed cooling systems where the heater circuit branches off the main coolant loop.
