Capacity note
For the Massey Ferguson 8S.245, the listed cooling system capacity is 3.3 gal | 12.5 L. Buy slightly more coolant than the exact capacity so you have enough for topping off after air burps out.
Mixture note
The Massey Ferguson 8S.245 tractor requires a coolant mixture of 50% antifreeze and 50% water for optimal cooling system protection.
Radiator cap note
The radiator cap pressure listed for the Massey Ferguson 8S.245 is 10 psi | 68.9 kPa. Do not replace it with a random cap unless the pressure rating matches.
Refill note
Refill slowly, run the tractor until warm with the heater circuit open if fitted, let it cool, then recheck the coolant level. Never remove a hot radiator cap under pressure.
Massey Ferguson 8S.245 Coolant FAQs
How much coolant does a Massey Ferguson 8S.245 take?
The Massey Ferguson 8S.245 takes 3.3 gal | 12.5 L of coolant. That is on the low side for the utility tractor benchmark, which makes the refill cheaper, but the level still needs to be checked after the first heat cycle.
Is 3.3 gal | 12.5 L a small coolant capacity for a Massey Ferguson 8S.245?
It is low compared with the benchmark on this page. That makes the job cheaper, but it does not make coolant choice or bleeding less important.
How many coolant jugs do I need for a Massey Ferguson 8S.245?
This is a manageable refill amount. A 3.3 gal | 12.5 L system needs about 4 one-gallon containers if you are using premixed coolant. If using concentrate at a 50/50 mix, plan on about 1.6 gal of concentrate and 1.6 gal of distilled water. In metric terms, that is roughly 3 x 5 L containers for a full premix refill.
What coolant should I use in a Massey Ferguson 8S.245?
The listed coolant is ethylene glycol-based coolant. Ethylene glycol tells you the base coolant, but the additive package still matters on diesel engines, so match the manual or an approved equivalent. The listed mix is the Massey Ferguson 8S.245 tractor requires a coolant mixture of 50% antifreeze and 50% water for optimal cooling system protection, so do not run straight water except as a short emergency move.
How much concentrate and water does a Massey Ferguson 8S.245 need?
With the listed the Massey Ferguson 8S.245 tractor requires a coolant mixture of 50% antifreeze and 50% water for optimal cooling system protection mix, a full 3.3 gal | 12.5 L refill works out to about 1.6 gal of antifreeze concentrate and 1.6 gal of distilled water. If using premix, do not add extra water unless the product label says to.
Can I use a different radiator cap on a Massey Ferguson 8S.245?
The listed cap pressure is 10 psi | 68.9 kPa. Use the same pressure rating when replacing it. The cap is part of the cooling system, not just a lid, and the wrong rating can cause boil-over, leaks or pressure problems.
Official information note
Mistakes do happen. Coolant specs can change by year, engine, market, radiator option and coolant chemistry. Check the operator manual, parts book and official masseyferguson.com website before draining, flushing or refilling the cooling system.
