Ecoboost PP Coolant Capacity

[SVO MkII]

Does anyone know what the coolant capacity is for a EB with PP? The PP comes with a larger radiator, but the owners manual (2018) doesn't show a different coolant capacity for PP equipped cars.

After draining mine it took 2 gallons to top it off.

But we don't know how much coolant was still in the engine. Without a similar comparison to a non PP car it would be hard to say how much more coolant is in the PP system with the larger radiator. The owner's manual shows the Ecoboost coolant capacity at 9.5 qts. I suppose if someone with a non PP car indicated that after a coolant drain, it took 1.5 gal, then maybe we could surmise the PP radiator as holding 2 qts more, etc.

That is true we do not. This info has to be out there somewhere.

No one really goes by static volumes anyway even with engine oil, takes 6 qts, but you always end up topping it off a little over under, and with a new radiator or just flushing it, its the same you would just get a couple of gallons fill it, let it burp and top it off anyway.

Some cases in the past with alot of my older cars would list x number of qts and ended up being nearly a half a qt under and had to top it off anyway. If you could find a spec that said the PP radiator was say 20% larger or something you could guestimate the increase a little, but since your going to eye ball it anyway, whats the difference.

I'm not draining/filling coolant. I was just curious how much more capacity the PP had, since the manual doesn't specify. I believe the V6 was something like 12.5 qts, and the V8 around 15 qts. Maybe they just used a V6 radiator for PP cars?

The EB uses a specific radiator. Doesnt share with v6 or gt

And does the EB PP use a specific radiator as well? That is the real question here.

 

[GuardEcoBeast]

Yes.

 

[SVO MkII]

Yes.

OK, still no info on the EB PP cooling system capacity.

If an EB is 9.5 then a PP is bigger...

Glad we figured that out.

Bringing this thread back from the dead. I have the PP radiator and 50/50 mix.

I want to increase H2O ratio (I live in Florida) and add Water Wetter. I'd like to know the capacity in order to know how much 50/50 to remove and then replace H2O/Water Wetter to change ratio to something like 75/25 for better track cooling.

Did anyone ever find out the answer to this question?

2020 Ford spec states: Ecoboost 13.6 QT, Track Pack 15.2 QT, HPP 9.5 QT
