Massey Ferguson 4800

Coolant capacity & service interval

Massey Ferguson 4800 uses coolant with a capacity of 58.89 liters. Service intervals include checking every 10 hours and changing every 750 hours or 12 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

TypeSpecifications

MF 4880 (1978-1983)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 58,89 liter
  • Check 10 hours
  • Change 750 hours/ 12 months

Additional Notes

  • The Massey Ferguson 4840 and MF 4880 share an identical coolant capacity of 58.89 liters, a figure that reflects a full cooling system fill rather than a partial service top-up.
  • A 58.89-liter cooling system capacity is notably large, consistent with high-displacement agricultural engines that generate substantial heat loads during extended field operation.
  • The check interval for both configurations is set at 10 hours, meaning coolant level verification is expected at very frequent intervals relative to the change schedule.
  • The coolant change interval is specified at 750 hours or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, applying a dual threshold that accounts for both operational hours and calendar time.
  • The 750-hour or 12-month change interval applies equally across the 1978-1983 production span for both the MF 4840 and MF 4880, with no variation recorded between model years within that range.
  • The gap between the 10-hour check interval and the 750-hour change interval indicates that coolant condition monitoring is treated as a routine task well before a full drain and refill is due.
