Vauxhall Sintra, APV
Coolant capacity & service interval
Vauxhall Sintra and APV models require 5,9 liters of coolant. Service intervals occur every 15000 km or 12 months. The data covers 3 configurations.
The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.
| Type | Specifications |
|---|---|
| Sintra 2.2 DTi 16V (1997-1999) |

Additional Notes
- All three Vauxhall Sintra engine variants covered in the specifications share an identical cooling system capacity of 5.9 liters, applying to the 2.2, 2.2 DTi 16V, and 3.0 engines across the 1996-1999 model years.
- A 5.9-liter cooling system capacity is a relatively substantial figure for a passenger vehicle, reflecting the demands of a larger multi-passenger platform such as the Sintra APV.
- The Sintra 2.2 DTi 16V (1997-1999) is the only variant in the specifications carrying an explicit service interval, with a coolant check specified at every 15,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
- The 15,000 km or 12-month interval on the Sintra 2.2 DTi 16V represents a time-and-distance combined schedule, meaning the 12-month threshold applies even when annual mileage falls below 15,000 km.
- The 2.2 and 3.0 petrol variants spanning 1996-1999 carry capacity data without an associated service interval in the specifications, while the diesel variant introduced in 1997 includes both capacity and interval data.
- All three variants list the cooling system capacity under normal use conditions, meaning the 5.9-liter figure applies to standard operating environments rather than severe or extended-duty scenarios.
