1.5 Gallons, approximately.

Thats including the radiator, block, heater core. A completely dry system.

Its also in your manual.

Where are you located?

Just get the Mazda Fl22 coolant, its about 20 bucks a gallon and comes at a 45/55 ratio. Its also pretty decent in terms of performance as well.

Yup... IMO Mazda coolant is better than most coolants at the store. For my rebuild it's between this and Evans NPG+
