Edit Reason: Just seen an XUD takes 9L
)
So need to do a oil change and radiator flush on the DT how much antifreeze do I need to put in? I think I seen somewhere it takes 6.5L of coolant so is that 3.25L of water and 3.25L of antifreeze?
Edit: just seen an XUD takes 9 litres of coolant! So 4.5L antifreeze 4.5L water?

Coolant is ready mixed, use straight out of the drum.
Antifreeze needs mixed with water.

Got this today to hopefully get the 306 in a better state. So if I don't add water does it mean I have to buy another 5 litre bottle of coolant or will it be okay for a while on 5 litres of coolant

You'll need to buy some more, it won't be ok on 5 litres.
