Additional Notes

  • The Toyota Land Cruiser 80 J8 (EU) coolant system capacity varies by engine, with the 4.2 D and 4.2 TD sharing an 11-liter fill and the 4.5 Station Wagon requiring a notably larger 13.5-liter fill.
  • The 2.5-liter difference in coolant capacity between the 4.2-liter engines and the 4.5-liter engine reflects the greater displacement and associated cooling circuit volume of the larger petrol unit.
  • All three configurations carry a 24-month change interval under normal use conditions, applying uniformly across the 1989-1998 model range regardless of engine type.
  • The 4.2 D and 4.2 TD variants share an identical 11-liter capacity and 24-month interval despite one being naturally aspirated diesel and the other turbocharged, indicating no cooling system volume difference between the two diesel configurations.
  • The 4.5 Station Wagon body designation is specific to the 1992-1998 period within the broader 1989-1998 range, meaning the larger 13.5-liter capacity applies only to that subset of model years.
  • A 24-month coolant change interval is a time-based service cycle, meaning the fluid is renewed on a calendar schedule rather than a mileage threshold, as reflected across all three rows.
