It will probably list the amount of "coolant" that it holds, but only have to put in half that number, and the other half you put in as water (preferably distilled).
According to Autozone's website, it is "ANTIFREEZE NEEDED: 7/8 GALLONS FOR A 50/50 MIX"
although i don't know if that is the capacity of the radiator or for the whole cooling system. You should probably buy one of the Prestone flushing kits that allows you to hook it up to a garden hose. Some people (and some car repair places) will just drain the bottom of the radiator and then fill it back up with fresh anitfreeze & water, but that is pretty pointless since all the old coolant is still sitting in your engine and it will get mixed around again as soon as you turn it on.
