Coolant drain and refill question....

I just drained the coolant from the radiator and it looks like there is more coolant that drained than the 1gallon i have to refill it? Do i need to buy more coolant or is 1 gallon enough?

The FSM says 9.25qt for engine coolant capacity but that's for the total system. I'm pretty sure when I dropped my radiator coolant it was less than 2 gallons.

You do know that you mix half distilled water and half coolant, right?

That would equal two gallons...

You're assuming he didn't buy premixed. Good point to double check.

Yep...actually even if it was premixed he'd need to buy two gallons. I just did this last week and it took over 1.5 gallons to fill including the reservoir.
