Additional Notes
- The Renault Frégate 2.0 R1100, produced from 1951-1956, carries a cooling system capacity range of 8.5-10 liters, which is a notably wide spread of 1.5 liters between the lower and upper figures.
- The Frégate 2.1 R1101/R1102 from 1955-1957 holds the largest fixed cooling system capacity across all listed configurations at 10.4 liters, stated as a single value rather than a range.
- The Frégate/Domaine 2.1 R1103 from 1957-1960 and the Frégate Transfluide R1104 from 1958-1960 share an identical capacity range of 8.4-9.1 liters, despite being distinct configurations.
- All four configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning none of the listed coolant capacities are associated with severe-duty or first-change-only service distinctions.
- The Frégate Transfluide R1104 designation refers to a variant equipped with an automatic transmission, yet the cooling system capacity of 8.4-9.1 liters aligns with the R1103 rather than differing to account for any additional thermal load from the transmission.
- The capacity range format used for the R1100, R1103, and R1104 configurations reflects variation that can arise between a partial drain-and-refill service fill and a more complete system overhaul, where the lower figure typically represents a partial service and the upper figure a full system fill.
