According to the 1996 Mercury Cougar Owner Guide :
The engine cooling system capacity ( including heater ) for the 3.8 litre V6
engine is 12.6 U.S. quarts / 11.9 litres
It came from the factory with a 50 / 50 mix of distilled water and GREEN
antifreeze ( meeting Ford specification ESE-M97B44-A )
So , maintaining the 50 / 50 mix would require :
( *** 6.3 U.S. quarts / 5.95 litres of GREEN color antifreeze *** )
Ford states not to exceed 60 % antifreeze in the mix
Is this a " TYPO " The first model year for the Mercury Cougar was 1967
My 1991 Mercury Cougar LS 3.8 4 Speed Automatic weighs in around 3800lbs.

I was looking at the ( 1996 ) Mercury Tracer Owner Guide and it shows that the engine cooling system capacity for the manual transaxle ( transmission ) is 5.3 U.S. quarts and for the automatic is 6.3 * it came from the factory with a 50 / 50 mix of distilled water and antifreeze , so it would take ( 2.65 to 3.15 quarts of antifreeze ) for a 50 / 50 mix ( manual / automatic )
