Peugeot 404

Coolant capacity & service interval

Peugeot 404 coolant specifications cover a capacity of 7.8 liters. The data includes three different configurations for this model. The coolant type specified is for normal use.

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

TypeSpecifications
404 Diesel (1966-1975)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 7,8 liter
404 Injection (1962-1975)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 7,8 liter
404 (1961-1975)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 7,8 liter

Additional Notes

  • The Peugeot 404 cooling system holds 7.8 liters across all three variants covered in the specifications: the standard 404, the 404 Diesel, and the 404 Injection.
  • A 7.8-liter cooling system capacity is a relatively modest figure, consistent with the compact inline four-cylinder engines typical of mid-century European passenger cars in the 404's class.
  • The standard 404 petrol variant carries the 7.8-liter capacity across the full 1961-1975 model range, while the 404 Injection shares the same figure across its 1962-1975 span.
  • The 404 Diesel, introduced later in 1966, also shares the 7.8-liter cooling system capacity under normal use conditions, indicating no structural difference in the cooling circuit between the diesel and petrol configurations.
  • All three variants list normal as the use condition tied to the 7.8-liter capacity, meaning the figure applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or first-fill scenarios.
