The owners manual for my 92 Accord (with an automatic transmission) lists the radiator coolant total capacity as 1.88 gallons if equipped with the automatic transmission. Yet I have a Chiltons repair manual which lists the cooling system capacity as 7.3 quarts for this vehicle with the automatic transmission. I wonder why the discrepancy here.
What is the actual total cooling system capacity?

 

That's a difference of less than a half-pint. It might be the Chilton book doesn't count the white plastic overflow reservoir.

 

Hmm. Okay, but I would think there is typically more than half a pint in the overflow reservoir. Only half a pint difference discrepancy is not worth worrying about though I suppose. I didn't do the math before I posted. Thanks JimBlake
