    iirc its something lik 6 litres to fill a a full system. aslong as theres a couple of litres of anti freeze in mate you'll be fine

    no set specific, as said you can use 100% but alot do 50/50 to keep cost down, get 2 - 3 litres of antifreeze in and some water and run it with cap off to bleed the system, when it needs topping up use either whats left of antifreeze or just water.
