Additional Notes
- The Ford Granada Mk I (EU) coolant system capacities vary considerably across engine variants, ranging from 6 liters in the smallest engines up to 11.4 liters in the largest, reflecting the differing thermal management demands of each displacement.
- Both the 1.7 HC and 2.0 HC engines share an identical cooling system capacity of 6 liters, indicating a closely related engine architecture with similar block and cooling jacket dimensions across those two displacements.
- The 2.3 HC and 2.6 HC engines each require 10.2 liters of coolant, a notably higher figure than the 1.7 and 2.0 HC variants, which points to a larger cooling circuit associated with the increased engine size in those configurations.
- The 3.0 HC engine carries the highest cooling system capacity in the lineup at 11.4 liters, consistent with the greater heat rejection requirements of a larger displacement six-cylinder unit compared to the four-cylinder variants.
- All five engine variants across the 1972-1977 production span are specified under normal use conditions, meaning the 6, 10.2, and 11.4 liter figures apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or first-fill scenarios.
- The jump from 6 liters in the 1.7 and 2.0 HC engines to 10.2 liters in the 2.3 HC represents a 70 percent increase in coolant volume, a substantial difference that reflects a fundamental change in engine family rather than a simple displacement increment.
