I just did the flush and fill thing on a 2.1 engine.  Bentley says the
coolant capacity is 18.4 US quarts, or 4.6 gallons.  I filled and drained my
system several times and got 12 quarts out consistently.  I have now filled
and bled it, and have about 3.5 gallons in it.  So 1 gallon of coolant and
the rest water doesn't seem right.
