Get yourself a haynes manual dude, really useful. I would advise you don't take everything they say at face value, particularly torque settings, but as a general guide they're excellent.
Changing the coolant and thermostat are about as easy as jobs get, so no worries there.

It should tell you the mix quantity on the bottle, its usually either ready to use or 5:1 or something like that.

Yeah 2.5 will be fine. If you really wanted, you could bung in 4.5 and run it neat but its not ideal. I usually go for a half and half mixture and that will protect you down to any temperature you will get in this country!

Oh is that the capacity 4.5 liters?
