Additional Notes

  • The Volvo PV444/544 cooling system capacity is 8.5 liters across all listed configurations, covering the PV444, PV444 USA, PV544, and PV544 Sport variants from 1957-1965.
  • An 8.5-liter cooling system capacity is a relatively modest figure, consistent with the small-displacement four-cylinder engines fitted to these vehicles during the period.
  • The PV444 and PV444 USA variants share an identical 8.5-liter capacity for 1957-1958, indicating no regional engineering difference in the cooling system between the domestic and export specifications.
  • The PV544 Sport variants for both 1958-1961 and 1961-1965 carry the same 8.5-liter capacity as the standard PV544, meaning the Sport designation did not alter the cooling system volume despite any performance-oriented engine differences.
  • All capacity figures are listed under normal use conditions, which in service specifications typically refers to standard operating environments as opposed to severe or heavy-duty duty cycles.
  • The continuity of the 8.5-liter figure from the PV444 generation through to the final PV544 Sport entries in 1965 reflects a consistent cooling system architecture across the full span of the model range covered by these specifications.
