Np, because most of your coolant is contained in the engine block. So when you drain your coolant from your radiator, most of the coolant will *remain* in the block.
The radiator only, aprox three quarts. The cooling system (radiator, engine, heater and hoses), aprox ten quarts. It depends on the engine size.
The radiator itself will probably hold about 4 qts. The whole system will hold aprox 12 to 14 qts.
If the entire system including the block, heater, radiator and all hoses were empty, it would take between 12 and 13 quarts to fill the system. So if you use a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water you would need 6 to 6 1/2 quarts of antifreeze.
antifreeze is usually mixed 50 / 50 with preferably distilled water for your cooling system ( up to 60 % antifreeze if colder climate ) which includes the radiator , heater core , radiator hoses , heater hoses etc.
According to the 1999 Ford Escort owners manual : The cooling system capacity with a manual transmission is 5.3 quarts / 5.0 liters The cooling system capacity with an automatic transmission is 6.3 quarts / 6.0 liters So , with a 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze and preferably distilled water : The cooling system with a manual transmission takes 2.65 quarts / 2.50 liters of antifreeze The cooling system with an automatic transmission takes 3.15 quarts / 3.0 liters of antifreeze T
For the radiator only, 2 to 3 quarts. For the complete cooling system, 8 to 9 quarts.
The radiator alone, aprox 2 to 3 quarts. The complete cooling system, aprox 10 to 11 quarts.
These two cooling system conditions are more than likely related. The cooling system is closed and not supposed to leak. Sources of leaks include hoses, clamps, radiator and or the heater core.
remove bottom radiator hose to drain system. flush system a few time before adding antifreeze.
To have a 50 / 50 mixture of antifreeze and preferably distilled water you would need ( 7.5 liters / 7.9 quarts ) of antifreeze because according to the Owner Guide the cooling system capacity is 15.0 liters / 15.8 quarts Ford shows not to exceed 60 % antifreeze and not to drop below 40 % antifreeze in the cooling system
According to the 1998 Ford Expedition Owner Guide : The engine cooling system came from the factory with a 50 / 50 mix of GREEN color antifreeze and distilled water ( meeting Ford specification ESE-M97B44-A ) So , for a 50 / 50 mix you would need : 4.6 liter V8 engine / 1 row radiator , ( 9 U.S. quarts of antifreeze and 9 quarts of preferably distilled water ) 4.6 / 2 row rad , ( 10 quarts ) 5.4 ( 10.4 quarts )
According to the 2005 Ford Mustang Owner Guide : The cooling system capacity is 13.6 quarts ( 12.9 liters ) So , a 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze and preferably distilled water would require : ( 6.8 quarts / 6.45 liters of antifreeze ) * Ford shows not to use less than 40 % antifreeze and not to exceed 60 % antifreeze in the cooling system mixture *
