Yamaha FJ (USA)

Coolant capacity & service interval

Yamaha FJ (USA) coolant capacity ranges from 0,25 to 1,93 liters. Service intervals require changes every 16000 miles or 24 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

  • Capacity 0,25 liter (Reservoir)
  • Change 16000 miles/ 24 months

Additional Notes

  • The Yamaha FJ-09 cooling system holds a combined radiator and engine capacity of 1.93 liters, which represents the full system fill volume used during a complete coolant drain and refill of the primary circuit.
  • A separate reservoir capacity of 0.25 liters is specified for the FJ-09, indicating an overflow or expansion tank that operates independently from the main radiator and engine volume.
  • The 2015 FJ-09 and the 2016-2017 FJ-09 share identical coolant capacities across both the primary circuit and the reservoir, with no variation between model years.
  • The coolant change interval for the FJ-09 across 2015-2017 is set at 16,000 miles or 24 months under normal use conditions, meaning whichever threshold is reached first would apply.
  • The 24-month time-based interval tied to normal use reflects that coolant degrades chemically over time regardless of mileage accumulation, making the calendar limit relevant even for low-mileage operation.
