Additional Notes
- The Toyota Paseo (USA / CAN) 1.5 EL54 cooling system capacity differs by transmission type, holding 5.3 liters with an automatic transmission and 4.9 liters with a manual transmission, a 0.4-liter difference that reflects the additional coolant routed through the automatic transmission fluid cooler integrated into the radiator.
- The 5.3-liter figure for automatic transmission-equipped 1996-1997 models represents a service fill volume, meaning the amount needed to refill the cooling system during a standard drain-and-fill service rather than a complete system flush with component removal.
- Under normal use conditions, the cooling system check interval is specified at 15,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, for both 1996 and 1997 model years.
- The coolant change interval under normal use conditions is set at 30,000 miles or 24 months for the 1996-1997 EL54, placing the drain-and-refill cycle at twice the distance and time span of the inspection interval.
- The capacity and interval specifications are identical across the 1996 and 1997 EL54 model years, indicating no mid-cycle revision to the cooling system service requirements between those two years.
