Yes, I am too lazy to look it up right now but what is the capacity of the cooling system on the '03 engine?

80 gallons.


Really 26.2 pints from dry, but you may not get all out of the block and heater core, 3 gallons may be enough. And at the price of gas and your $350/hr time, having that 4th gallon is cheap, plus you may need it after bleed, loose hose clamp, etc. Better to have premix coolant you can grab and use rather than be tempted by the Dark Side to pour in whatever you can to top off before racing off to tailgate at the football game.

Besides, no garage is complete without several jugs of various fluids. High dollar snake oils go on the top shelf... And a plastic tub in the back of the truck can hold spare fluids, small bottle of hand cleaner, tools, etc. for unscheduled maintenance (frequency varies with how much meat was roasted to honor the Rover gods).

Hey Savannah, the link you posted about coolant was dead last night. If you marinate the meat in coolant will the check engine light stay off longer?

O'Reilly's has the limited edition "Duck Dynasty" 50/50 mix of Peak Long Life for $9.99 with a $3 mail in rebate making it $6.99. Not sure if you can only get one rebate and I have no idea what the Duck Dynasty edition has other then camo pattern on the label.

I actually hate mail in rebates.
