Tofas Sahin

Coolant capacity & service interval

Tofas Sahin coolant capacity ranges from 7,4 to 7,5 liters. Service intervals include checking at 500 km and changing at 60000 km or 24 months. The data covers 5 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Tofas Sahin cooling system capacity sits at either 7.4 or 7.5 liters depending on the engine variant, a range that reflects the total volume of coolant the system holds when filled from empty, as in an overhaul or full drain scenario.
  • The 1.6 engine covering 1990-1995 carries a slightly lower cooling system capacity of 7.4 liters, while the 1.4 and 1.6 i.e. variants from later model years are specified at 7.5 liters.
  • A 500 km check interval appears in the specifications for the Sahin 1.4 (1996-1997), the Sahin 1.6 i.e. (1998-2002), and the Sahin S (1996-1997), all under normal use conditions. A 500 km check interval typically serves as an early inspection point to confirm the system is holding fluid correctly after a service.
  • The coolant change interval for the Sahin 1.4 (1996-1997) under normal use is set at 60,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first. The dual-condition format means time elapsed can trigger a change even before the mileage threshold is reached.
  • The Sahin 1.6 i.e. (1998-2002) shares the same 60,000 km or 24-month change interval and the same 500 km check interval as the 1.4 variant from 1996-1997, despite being a different engine configuration.
  • The Sahin S (1996-1997) is specified with a 7.5-liter cooling system capacity alongside the 500 km check and the 60,000 km or 24-month change interval under normal use, matching the interval structure of the 1.4 from the same production years.
  • The Sahin 1.4 (1998-2002) specification lists only a 7.5-liter capacity under normal use, with no check or change interval data present in the row, distinguishing it from the 1996-1997 version of the same engine displacement.
