Additional Notes
- The DAF V 400 2.5 D produced from 1987-1989 carries a cooling system capacity of 8.5 liters, which represents the total fluid volume the system holds during a standard service fill.
- From 1989 onward, the 2.5 D variant saw a notable increase in cooling system capacity, rising from 8.5 liters to 11.3 liters, reflecting a meaningful change in the engine's thermal management requirements between the two production periods.
- The 2.5 TD variant, also produced from 1989-1993, shares the same 11.3-liter cooling system capacity as the naturally aspirated 2.5 D of the same period, despite the addition of turbocharging.
- All three configurations across the 1987-1993 production span specify a 24-month coolant change interval under normal use conditions, meaning standard operating environments without the added stress of extreme temperatures, heavy loads, or frequent short trips.
- The 11.3-liter capacity specified for both the 1989-1993 2.5 D and 2.5 TD means a full coolant drain and refill on either of those variants requires a noticeably larger fluid volume than the earlier 8.5-liter 2.5 D, which has practical implications for the quantity of coolant needed at each 24-month service interval.
