Samsung QM3, J87

Coolant capacity & service interval

Samsung QM3 and J87 models require coolant with a capacity range of 4,5 to 6,5 liters. Service intervals occur every 80000 km or 48 months. The data covers 3 configurations.

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

  • Capacity 4,5 liter
QM3 1.5 dCi DPF (2013-2018)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 4,5-6,5 liter
  • Change 80000 km/ 48 months

Additional Notes

  • The Samsung QM3 0.9 TCe 90 and 1.2 TCe 120 Energy share an identical cooling system capacity of 4.5 liters across the 2013-2018 model years, indicating a consistent coolant fill volume between both petrol engine variants.
  • The 1.5 dCi DPF variant carries a wider capacity range of 4.5 to 6.5 liters, which reflects a variable fill volume depending on whether the system is being serviced in place or fully drained during an overhaul procedure.
  • A coolant change interval of 80,000 km or 48 months is specified for the 1.5 dCi DPF under normal use conditions, meaning the replacement schedule applies to standard driving circumstances rather than demanding or severe operating environments.
  • The 48-month time limit on the 1.5 dCi DPF coolant change interval means the fluid is due for replacement at whichever threshold arrives first, whether the vehicle reaches 80,000 km or four years of service elapse.
  • No change interval is listed for the 0.9 TCe 90 or 1.2 TCe 120 Energy cooling systems, while the 1.5 dCi DPF is the only configuration in the 2013-2018 range carrying a defined replacement schedule.
