Kenneth: I believe it's eight quarts, look in the drivers manual under capacities.I am not at my vehicle now, email me back if you can not find it. I guess you successfulley repaired the broken off bolt? Just taking off the bottom hose is usually not enough. I drive the front wheels up on ramps and then remove both hoses and open the flush tee I installed in the heater hose. Remeber to turn the heat control to hot and open the valve on the heater under the back seat. Also open the bleeder bolt on the radiator and open the filler cap on the resevoir. I never use more than 50%. I hear that a stronger reading might confuse the level sensor.
