Till it's full?

Need to fill till full, then run the engine for a while (till it's heated up) and add coolant as it drops. Should take approximately 28 quarts if it is completely empty (which if you haven't pulled the engine and heater core and dumped them out it wont be.)

Good site? This one, or a Haynes/Chiltons/factory manual.
