Additional Notes

  • The Toyota Tercel L with the 1.3-liter AL11 engine carries a cooling system capacity of 5.3 liters, which represents the total volume of the cooling circuit including the radiator, engine block passages, and reservoir.
  • The 20,000 km or 12-month coolant change interval for the AL11 engine applies under normal use conditions, meaning standard driving patterns without the added thermal stress associated with severe-duty operation.
  • The 12-month time limit on the coolant change interval means a calendar year serves as an independent trigger, so whichever threshold arrives first — distance or time — determines when a change is due regardless of how the vehicle is driven.
