Additional Notes

  • The Toyota MR2 W30 (EU) 1.8 16V VVT-i carries a cooling system capacity of 10.4 liters across all model years from 2000-2005, a figure consistent with a full service fill of the entire cooling circuit rather than a partial top-up volume.
  • For the 2000-2002 model years, the normal-use change interval is set at 30,000 km or 24 months, while the check interval is scheduled at 15,000 km or 12 months, meaning coolant condition is assessed at roughly half the pace of a full replacement.
  • The 2000-2002 specifications include a separate first-change-only interval of 60,000 km or 36 months, which is double the normal-use change distance and extends the time allowance by 12 months over the standard cycle.
  • From 2002-2005, the check interval shifts from a dual km/month basis to a single distance-only figure of 30,000 km, removing the time-based component that was present in the earlier 2000-2002 specifications.
  • The normal-use change interval for the 2002-2005 configuration is 90,000 km, a substantial increase from the 30,000 km interval specified for 2000-2002, reflecting a significantly extended service life expectation for the coolant in later production.
  • Under first-change-only conditions, the 2002-2005 specification sets the change interval at 150,000 km, which is 60,000 km beyond the normal-use interval for the same period and represents the longest single coolant service interval across all configurations in the dataset.
