Mixture note
50/50 antifreeze and water.
Radiator cap note
The radiator cap pressure listed for the Massey Ferguson 8160 is 10 psi | 70 kPa. Do not replace it with a random cap unless the pressure rating matches.

Massey Ferguson 8160 Coolant FAQs
How much coolant does a Massey Ferguson 8160 take?
The Massey Ferguson 8160 takes 7.9 gal | 29.9 L of coolant. That is above the average utility tractor benchmark, so buy enough coolant before starting instead of relying on one spare jug.
Is 7.9 gal | 29.9 L a lot of coolant for a Massey Ferguson 8160?
Yes. For this tractor category, 7.9 gal | 29.9 L is above average. This is the sort of refill where you want all coolant on hand before draining, because stopping halfway through the job is annoying and messy.
How many coolant jugs do I need for a Massey Ferguson 8160?
This is more than a small top-off job. A 7.9 gal | 29.9 L system needs about 8 one-gallon containers if you are using premixed coolant. If using concentrate at a 50/50 mix, plan on about 3.9 gal of concentrate and 3.9 gal of distilled water. In metric terms, that is roughly 6 x 5 L containers for a full premix refill.
What coolant should I use in a Massey Ferguson 8160?
The listed coolant is 50/50 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 50/50 antifreeze and water, so do not run straight water except as a short emergency move.
How much concentrate and water does a Massey Ferguson 8160 need?
With the listed 50/50 antifreeze and water mix, a full 7.9 gal | 29.9 L refill works out to about 3.9 gal of antifreeze concentrate and 3.9 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 8160?
The listed cap pressure is 10 psi | 70 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.
