Gas Gas Contact

Coolant capacity & service interval

Gas Gas Contact coolant capacity ranges between min and max. Service intervals occur every 12 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • All four Gas Gas Contact variants listed — the 250, 250 ES, 280, and 280 ES — share a coolant fill specification expressed as a range rather than a fixed volume. The "between min and max" designation refers to the level marks on the coolant reservoir or radiator, meaning the system is filled to a visual reference point rather than a precise measured quantity.
  • A level-based fill specification is typical for sealed or semi-sealed cooling systems where the correct charge is established at the factory and subsequent servicing involves topping up to marked indicators rather than draining and refilling to a fixed capacity.
  • The 12-month change interval applies uniformly across all four configurations under normal use conditions. A calendar-based interval of 12 months means coolant is renewed annually regardless of mileage or hours of operation accumulated during that period.
  • The Contact 250 and Contact 280 carry model year coverage of 2015-2017, while the electric-start ES variants — the 250 ES and 280 ES — begin in 2017 and extend through 2021, reflecting a later introduction of the electric-start configuration within the Contact lineup.
  • The 250 and 280 designations refer to engine displacement in cubic centimeters. Both displacements share identical coolant service specifications, indicating no variation in cooling system service requirements between the two engine sizes within the same model family.
