Microcar M-8

Coolant capacity & service interval

Microcar M-8 coolant capacity is 4 liters. Service intervals include checks at 2500 km and changes at 30000 km/36 months or 50000 km/24 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Microcar M-8 with the Lombardini LDW492 engine carries a cooling system capacity of 4 liters, which represents the total system fill volume including the radiator, hoses, and reservoir.
  • The Lombardini LDW502 configuration also holds 4 liters of coolant, placing both engine variants at the same total cooling system volume for the 2012 starting model year.
  • The LDW492 cooling system specifies a check interval of every 2,500 km under normal use conditions, a relatively short inspection cycle that reflects routine monitoring of coolant level and condition between full changes.
  • The LDW492 coolant change interval is set at 50,000 km or 24 months under normal use, whichever comes first, combining a distance threshold with a fixed time limit of two years.
  • The LDW502 coolant change interval differs notably from the LDW492, specifying 30,000 km or 36 months under normal use. The distance threshold is 20,000 km shorter, while the time allowance extends to three years rather than two.
  • The LDW492 and LDW502 variants share the same 4-liter capacity but follow divergent change schedules, with the LDW502 permitting a longer calendar interval of 36 months against the LDW492's 24-month ceiling.
