LDV CUB

Coolant capacity & service interval

LDV CUB coolant capacity ranges from 9 to 11,3 liters. Service intervals include checks at 10000 km/6 months or 60000 km/12 months, and changes at 60000 km/36 months, 80000 km/48 months, or 120000 km/24 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The LDV Cub 1.6 16V (1995-1998) carries a cooling system capacity of 9 liters, while both 2.3 Diesel variants hold 11.3 liters, reflecting the greater thermal mass associated with the larger diesel engine.
  • The 2.3 Diesel running from 1995-1997 shares its coolant change interval with the 1.6 16V, both specifying a change at 120000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions.
  • From 1998 onward, the 2.3 Diesel moved to a more frequent check interval of 10000 km or 6 months, compared to the 60000 km or 12-month check interval applied to the 1995-1997 diesel and the 1.6 16V.
  • The 1998-2001 2.3 Diesel specifies a coolant change at 60000 km or 36 months under normal use, which represents a notably longer time-based interval than the 24-month change cycle used in the earlier 1995-1997 diesel specification.
  • A separate first-change-only interval applies to the 1998-2001 2.3 Diesel, extending the initial coolant change out to 80000 km or 48 months, which is longer than the standard normal-use change interval of 60000 km or 36 months for the same engine.
  • The 48-month first-change-only interval on the 1998-2001 2.3 Diesel suggests the use of a long-life coolant formulation for the initial factory fill, as such extended intervals are typically associated with OAT or HOAT-type antifreeze rather than conventional coolant.
