Additional Notes
- The Ford Taunus 20M (EU) cooling system specifications cover two distinct body generations: the P5, produced 1964-1967, and the P7b, produced 1968-1971.
- Both the HC and LC engine variants of the 2.0-litre P5 share an identical cooling system capacity of 6.6 litres, indicating no meaningful difference in cooling circuit volume between those two engine configurations within that generation.
- The P7b generation shows a uniform cooling system capacity of 8 litres across all listed variants, including the 2.0-litre HC, the 2.0-litre LC, the 2.6-litre, and the 2.6-litre RS.
- The step from 6.6 litres in the P5 to 8 litres in the P7b represents an increase of approximately 1.4 litres, consistent with a larger or redesigned engine bay and cooling circuit in the newer body platform.
- The 2.6-litre engine variants in the P7b generation carry the same 8-litre cooling capacity as the 2.0-litre variants of the same generation, meaning displacement alone does not differentiate the coolant fill volume within the P7b platform.
- All six configurations carry a normal use condition, meaning the stated capacities apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or special-case service scenarios.
- The RS designation on the 2.6-litre P7b variant does not correspond to a different cooling system capacity relative to the standard 2.6-litre P7b, both specifying 8 litres.
