Additional Notes

  • The Vauxhall Magnum coolant system capacity is listed at 8 liters across all three engine variants covered in the 1973-1978 specifications.
  • The 8-liter figure represents the cooling system volume and does not include the heater circuit, which adds additional fluid volume beyond the stated capacity.
  • The 1.8, 2.3, and 2.3 HP engine variants share an identical base coolant capacity of 8 liters, indicating no displacement-related difference in cooling system volume across the range.
  • All three configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the 8-liter capacity figure applies under standard operating conditions rather than severe or first-change-only service scenarios.
