Yep, maybe a little less. I put 4 gallons of antifreeze with sca additive in it first then topped off with distilled water. Mine held about 7.5.

Yep. They say it still holds ~2 gallons when you drain the radiator, hoses, block plugs, etc then I was able to put in 4 gallons of charged coolant and about 2.3ish gallons of distilled water.
