Coolant system capacity is about 8.5 qts....

However, only about 4-5 qts. will drain from the radiator. The remainder is held in the heater core, etc.
One procedure is to drain the old coolant using the bottom radiator hose, fill the system with water (distilled water preferred especially if you have hard tap water). Run engine long enouh to allow the thermostat to open and the coolant to throughly mix. Drain again. Repeat with plain water and drain again if you really want to flush the cooling system.
Then fill with 4 to 4.5 qts of 100% pure coolant. Top of with water. Run engine up to operating temperature and top off with water as needed.
This should leave you with a 50% coolant/50% water mix.
