Default How much coolant?

I have 5 litres of halfords coolant to put in my classic tomorrow.

How much of the coolant should i use? Should i put the 5 litres in or is that too much?

It is the neat stuff

Cheers

Depends what protection you want - is the coolant pre-mixed or neat anti-freeze?

The system holds 7.7 Litres

Cheers guys,

Just put the coolant in. Put about 4 litres in but had a bloody airlock!

Found the airlock and now all sorted
