Engine displacement
7.4 L | 452 cu in
Capacity note
For the Massey Ferguson 8S.265, the listed cooling system capacity is 11.9 gal | 45 L. Buy slightly more coolant than the exact capacity so you have enough for topping off after air burps out.
Mixture note
50/50 antifreeze and water.
Radiator cap note
The radiator cap pressure listed for the Massey Ferguson 8S.265 is 13 psi | 90 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.265 Coolant FAQs
How much coolant does a Massey Ferguson 8S.265 take?
The Massey Ferguson 8S.265 takes 11.9 gal | 45 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 8S.265 coolant capacity normal?
Yes, 11.9 gal | 45 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 8S.265?
Do not underestimate this refill. A 11.9 gal | 45 L system needs about 12 one-gallon containers if you are using premixed coolant. If using concentrate at a 50/50 mix, plan on about 5.9 gal of concentrate and 5.9 gal of distilled water. In metric terms, that is roughly 9 x 5 L containers for a full premix refill.
Can I mix coolant types in a Massey Ferguson 8S.265?
Because the listed coolant is extended-life OAT coolant, the clean move is to stay with the same approved chemistry. Do not casually mix it with old green conventional coolant; if the old coolant type is unknown, flush first or confirm what is already in the system. 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 8S.265 need?
With the listed 50/50 antifreeze and water mix, a full 11.9 gal | 45 L refill works out to about 5.9 gal of antifreeze concentrate and 5.9 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 8S.265?
The listed cap pressure is 13 psi | 90 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.
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.
