Additional Notes
- The Ford Zephyr V4 cooling system holds 8.8 liters of coolant, a notably smaller volume that reflects the reduced displacement and cylinder count of the V4 engine compared to the six-cylinder variants in the same model range.
- Both the Zephyr V6 and the Zodiac/Executive share an identical cooling system capacity of 11.8 liters across the 1966-1972 model years, indicating a common cooling architecture between the two six-cylinder configurations.
- The difference between the V4 and V6 cooling system capacities amounts to 3.0 liters, a gap that corresponds to the greater thermal load generated by the larger six-cylinder engine requiring more coolant volume to maintain operating temperatures.
- All three configurations carry a normal use condition designation for the cooling system, meaning the stated capacities of 8.8 liters and 11.8 liters apply under standard operating conditions rather than severe-duty or first-fill scenarios.
- The 11.8-liter figure listed for the Zodiac/Executive cooling system represents a full cooling system capacity, which in service practice typically accounts for the radiator, engine block passages, heater core circuit, and associated hoses taken together.
