Wolseley 1500

Coolant capacity & service interval

The Wolseley 1500 coolant specifications cover a fluid capacity of 7 liters. The data includes normal use coolant type. The specifications apply to 3 different configurations of the model.

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

TypeSpecifications

1500, Mk II (1960-1961)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 7 liter
1500, Mk I (1957-1960)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 7 liter

Additional Notes

  • The Wolseley 1500 carries a cooling system capacity of 7 liters across all three of its mark variants.
  • The Mk I, produced from 1957-1960, shares the same 7-liter cooling system capacity as the Mk II (1960-1961) and Mk III (1961-1965), indicating no engineering changes to the cooling circuit between mark revisions.
  • A 7-liter coolant capacity is relatively modest by mid-century standards, consistent with the small-displacement inline four-cylinder engine the 1500 was built around.
  • All three mark variants list coolant capacity under normal use conditions, meaning the 7-liter figure applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or high-temperature service scenarios.
