TVR Griffith

Coolant capacity & service interval

TVR Griffith coolant capacity ranges from 5 to 11 liters. Service intervals include coolant changes every 40000 km or 48 months and checks every 10000 km. The data covers 3 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The TVR Griffith (1991-1995) carries a coolant capacity of 11 liters, which is notably large and reflects the full cooling system volume including the radiator, hoses, and engine block passages typically drained and refilled during a complete overhaul-level service.
  • The Griffith 500 variants spanning 1994-2002 show a coolant capacity of 5 liters, less than half the figure listed for the 1991-1995 Griffith, pointing to a meaningfully different cooling system architecture between the two configurations.
  • The 1991-1995 Griffith cooling system carries a change interval of 40,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, meaning the coolant is scheduled for full replacement rather than inspection alone at that mileage or time threshold.
  • The Griffith 500 across both the 1994-1996 and 1996-2002 entries specifies a check interval of 10,000 km under normal use, which is a monitoring interval rather than a replacement interval, indicating the coolant level and condition are to be inspected at that frequency without a scheduled full drain.
  • The overlap in model years between the two Griffith 500 entries, with 1994-1996 and 1996-2002 sharing identical capacity and check interval figures of 5 liters and 10,000 km respectively, suggests the cooling system specification remained consistent across a production period spanning nearly a decade for the 500 variant.
