Unplug your radiator and let the old coolant out. 1.) Either you find a way to collect the outcoming fluids or 2.) you can fill your radiator liter by liter (using plain water) to determine its actual capacity.

If you do #2, you have to let water out again and fill with actual coolant.

As for the coolant, you can the premixed coolant. No need to measure anything. Just pour.

sir around 6 liters to 6.5 liters ang capacity ng coolant ng crosswind kung hindi premix dapat 50/50 water and coolant dati yung binili ko in 3 liters na lalagyan tapos halo ng 3 liters na wilkins distilled sakto na siya....magkulang ka lang ng konti dun sa coolant reservior kaya bili ka na lang ng maliit yung nasa 500ml tapos halo ulit ng 500ml may sosobra pa yun pwede mo sir pangtop-up kung nagbabawas...nung nagcoolant ako hindi na nagbabawas ang coolant ko...kaya oks talaga gumamit ng coolant...wag ka na bibili nung may anti-freeze hindi na natin need yun sa may winter lang yun...btw bago ka magsalin ng bagong coolant you can flush it prestone meron din nun lalalabas mga corrosion....

thanks bro jaz014...napalitan ko na coolant/water ng radiator ko...gumamit din ako ng pang flush na nabibili sa mga auto shop,may mga lumabas ngang dumi,pero kunti lang naman...ginamit kong coolant ay yung nabibili sa petron na coolant,ok kaya yun?tapos yung distlled water na ginamit ko ay absolute,medyo mura ng konti...

sir according sa label sa back ng prestone coolant....adding more coolant will increase also yung boiling point ng mixture...as far as I remember kapag 50/50 nasa 110 degree C ang magiging boiling point then the more coolant versus water tumataas let say around increment of 5 to 10 degrees....
