What is the capacity of the Corolla coolant reservoir?
1 Answers
The Corolla coolant reservoir holds approximately 5 liters. Corolla antifreeze: For this vehicle, a single antifreeze replacement requires 6.2-6.4 liters for the 1.2L model, 5.6-5.7 liters for the 1.6L model, and around 6.2 liters for the 1.8L model. It is generally recommended to fill the coolant reservoir to the middle line. Super Long Life Coolant: Toyota Corolla recommends using Toyota's genuine Super Long Life Coolant or high-quality ethylene glycol antifreeze, typically around 6 liters, as specified in the maintenance manual. It is advised not to mix different brands or types of antifreeze/coolant to prevent chemical incompatibility that may render the coolant ineffective. If switching to a different brand of antifreeze/coolant, it is best to first drain the engine's existing coolant and thoroughly clean all cooling passages before adding the new coolant.
