Capacity note
For the Massey Ferguson 5455, the listed cooling system capacity is 12.5 gal | 47.3 L. Buy slightly more coolant than the exact capacity so you have enough for topping off after air burps out.
Mixture note
Use the coolant type listed above and match the antifreeze/water mix to the operator manual and local freezing conditions.
Radiator cap note
The radiator cap pressure listed for the Massey Ferguson 5455 is 14 psi | 96 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 5455 Coolant FAQs
How much coolant does a Massey Ferguson 5455 take?
The Massey Ferguson 5455 takes 12.5 gal | 47.3 L of coolant. That is about normal for the row-crop tractor benchmark shown here, so plan it like a standard drain-and-refill rather than a tiny top-up.
Is the Massey Ferguson 5455 coolant capacity normal?
Yes, 12.5 gal | 47.3 L lands about where you would expect for this tractor category. The main thing is buying enough for a complete refill plus a small top-off amount.
How many coolant jugs do I need for a Massey Ferguson 5455?
Do not underestimate this refill. A 12.5 gal | 47.3 L system needs about 13 one-gallon containers if you are using premixed coolant. If using concentrate at a 50/50 mix, plan on about 6.2 gal of concentrate and 6.2 gal of distilled water. In metric terms, that is roughly 10 x 5 L containers for a full premix refill.
What coolant should I use in a Massey Ferguson 5455?
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.
Can I use a different radiator cap on a Massey Ferguson 5455?
The listed cap pressure is 14 psi | 96 kPa. That higher-pressure cap helps raise the boiling point, but only if the radiator neck, hoses and overflow path are in good shape. A weak cap or damaged seat can still cause coolant loss.
When should the Massey Ferguson 5455 coolant be changed?
The listed interval is every 500 hours. Hour-based service matters most on working tractors that spend long periods hot under load.
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.
