Default Radiator coolant capacity

I have a 2002 monte carlo ss with the stock radiator and im trying to find out how much coolant and water i can put in it to make it 50/50. Like how many ounces or gallons of coolant and water to put into the radiator... I wanna do a flush because im at 140,000 and Im not sure if the previous owner of the car did it or not, i know i havent done one...

it happens the simplist things can slip the mind! after posting i kind of thought to myself, people don't always have the manual...

good luck on your hunt nonetheless

Ok thanks, i ended up getting the premixed 50/50. The guy at pepboys said there is no such thing as dexcool 50/50 but his coworker corrected him and showed me the way to it... And they took $2 off!!! For customer service I give pepboys an A+ but from what ive heard their automotive service, sucks lol
