Way to help out...[&o]

The cooling system capacity is ~12quarts or 3 gallons. You'll want to flush the system with probably 3 or 4 gallons of distilled water, then drain it out as best you can. Add 6 quarts of coolant, then fill the system the rest of the way with distilled water.

Dexicool is fine if you dont put regular water in it. Mine jumps up to 225 with ac on at idle and 190 to 200 while driving. But its also 107 here.
