Additional Notes
- The Lincoln Versailles 5.0 (302 ci) cooling system carries a capacity of 13.8 liters, which represents the total system fill volume including the radiator, engine block passages, and heater core circuit.
- Both the 1977-1978 and 1978-1980 configurations of the 5.0 (302 ci) share an identical 13.8-liter coolant capacity, indicating no meaningful change to the cooling system volume across those model years.
- The coolant change interval is set at 84,000 km or 36 months under normal use conditions, meaning whichever threshold arrives first would trigger a service event.
- A 36-month change interval on a normal use basis reflects a conventional extended-life coolant schedule, where the fluid is expected to maintain adequate corrosion inhibitor levels and freeze protection across that period.
- The check interval is specified at 12 months under normal use conditions, placing a routine inspection well ahead of the full change interval and allowing for top-up or early replacement if the fluid condition warrants it.
- The 1978 model year appears in both specification rows, as the 1977-1978 and 1978-1980 entries overlap at that year, though both rows carry identical capacity and interval figures for the 5.0 (302 ci) engine.
