Quick coolant question

[jcvd01]

In the shop manual i got on Pauls site it says the coolant refill capacity is 1 gallon. Is that 1 gallon of 50/50 mixture or just anti freeze? And is this amount the full amount used when i flush the system?

capacity is listed as just that what it will hold. You need to mix it 50/50. Also is that full system cpacity or just the radiaitor???? I'd make sure you have at least 2 gallons mixed (1gal antifreeze / 1gallonwater) especially if you are flushing the system
