Radiator capacity
Trying to figure out just how much fluid is in the radiator by itself I had a hose clamp let go at the campground we're at up up here in Banff and I got it back on apparently it slipped off from replacing the radiator a while back and I didn't go back into check to retighten it and all the liquid drained out of the radiator I've got 3 gallons of new coolant and I added water to it I just need to know what the capacity of the radiator.
I plan to drain the radiator completely and then pour in the proper amount of coolant and then add water to it so that's why I need to know thanks

Aside from the compatibility issue, I would not fret too much about striking a 50/50 balance of coolant and water. Err on the side of water while on the road.
Do the whole job right later when you have the time.
