Default How much coolant?

Hello guys, I will be doing H/C this weekend and I will be draining my coolant.. My car has always had the green stuff not the dex cool so I am sticking with the green one. I bought some Preston coolant that has to be diluted. I was wondering how much gallons or what not, does the whole coolant system hold?

I tried the Owners manual but doesn't show lol.. Thx.

if its not 50/50, just fill it and the rest of it with water. i would get the dex cool orange stuff. and flush the old stuff out no matter what you do!!!

as long as you mix any decent antifreeze with distilled water 50/50 you should be fine if you do a lot of racing or something or had problems with your car overheating you could probably add some water wetter or similiar product and or less antifreeze

always good to put some dex-cool . these radiators rust if you run just water even though it is the best coolant .
