Additional Notes

  • The Tofas Murat 131 1300 and the 1600 variants produced between 1974-1977 share an identical cooling system capacity of 7.6 liters, indicating that the displacement difference between those two engines did not require a larger cooling circuit in that generation.
  • The 1978-1984 Murat 131 CL/L 1600 also carries a 7.6-liter cooling system capacity, matching the earlier 1974-1977 petrol variants despite belonging to a later production period.
  • The 1978-1984 Murat 131 1600 16V requires 8 liters of coolant, a modest increase over the 7.6-liter figure shared by the standard 1600 variants. The higher-output 16-valve head generates more heat, which typically necessitates a slightly larger cooling circuit volume.
  • The CLD/LD diesel variants in both 2000 and 2500 displacements, produced between 1978-1984, each carry an 11-liter cooling system capacity. Diesel engines generally run at higher thermal loads than comparable petrol units, and the substantially larger capacity relative to the petrol variants reflects that characteristic.
  • All six configurations share a 500 km early inspection interval. In service practice, a check at 500 km is associated with a break-in or initial settling period, allowing detection of leaks or level drops before the standard maintenance schedule takes over.
  • The coolant change interval is uniform across all listed configurations at 60,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first. The dual-trigger format means time elapsed can mandate a change even when mileage accumulation is low, which is relevant for vehicles used infrequently.
  • All specifications are listed under normal use conditions, meaning the 60,000 km / 24-month change interval applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles such as extreme temperatures or heavy towing.
