    My book for the 250 is showing 9.7 quarts, with or without A/C

    It is not only how much....but how much protection you have when it comes to temperature.

    If you drain the cooling system by opening the radiator drain, on a stock system, you will have drained half of the coolant. If you flush out your cooling system (including the heater), then just add pure antifreeze to fill the system, it will be protected to -34°F.
    If it is colder than that, I won't ever be there!!! :rofl2:
