By Sheer osmosis, I am going to attempt the original question.

First, to add antifreeze, you should figure on a 50%/50% mix of Anti/H2O.

This can only be know by completely draining the system and flushing.

Guidelines:

Turn heat control to hot.

Run the car until the temp is normal and wait 20 mins.

Drain system with the heat selector on your dash set to full "hot". This assures the heater core will be drained as well.

Open the bleeder valve on the intake manifold and open the drain cock on the left side of the radiator with cap off. Use a large flat pan that will hold approx. 14ltrs.


Put your keys in your pocket.

Go inside the house and play video games.

Place the drain plug in the radiator and slowly fill the system. When the system is full, drain.

Repeat 3 times.

Put drain plug firmly into the radiator and pour 3.2 ltrs of antifreeze in the system. Add water. Crank engine. Keep adding water until full over a 12 min period. While running tighten the bleeder valve. Install radiator cap and fill resev. to between cold and hot line.
Enjoy a good flush/
