Can someone with the service CD give me the coolant capacity.
Thanks

According to the shop manual it's 2.9 liters total. Doesn't say, but I'd assume a 50-50 mix of the right antifreeze (assume silicate free) and distilled.

Just fwiw I just noticed the shop manual says the thermostat opens at 85C (185 F), and the fan cut-in is at 101C (213.8F). (Figured inquiring minds might want to know).

A little slow today, but also:

Temp warning light comes on at 118C (244.4F)

.76 of a gallon. Is that what it holds?

Spot on, Thanks.
