Samsung QM5, H45
Coolant capacity & service interval
Samsung QM5 and H45 models use coolant with a capacity range of 7,2 to 8,5 liters. Service intervals require checks every 12 months or 30000 km. The data covers 6 configurations.
The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes
- The Samsung QM5 H45 cooling system check interval is uniform across all engine variants at 12 months or 30,000 km under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
- The 2.0 16V petrol engine carries a cooling system capacity of 7.4 liters, placing it between the 2.5-liter petrol and the 2.0 dCi diesel figures within the H45 lineup.
- Both the 2.5 16V 4x2 and 2.5 16V 4x4 share an identical cooling system capacity of 7.2 liters, the lowest figure among all H45 variants listed, indicating the drivetrain configuration has no effect on coolant volume for the 2.5-liter petrol engine.
- The 2.0 dCi engines, regardless of power output (110 kW or 127 kW) or AWD configuration, share the same transmission-dependent capacity split: 8.5 liters with an automatic transmission and 8.0 liters with a manual transmission. The 0.5-liter difference reflects the additional heat exchange demands of an automatic unit, which typically routes transmission fluid through a cooler integrated into the cooling circuit.
- The 2.0 dCi variants require notably more coolant than the petrol engines in the same H45 range. At 8.0-8.5 liters, the diesel cooling system capacity exceeds the 2.0 16V petrol by approximately 0.6 to 1.1 liters, consistent with the higher thermal loads diesel engines typically generate.
- All six configurations share the same service check interval of 12 months or 30,000 km under normal use, meaning neither engine type, power output, nor drivetrain layout affects the recommended inspection frequency for the cooling system.
