E420 coolant capacity

Hello, I've been a lurker for about 3 years but this is my first post.
I have a 1997 E420 (M119 engine) and want to flush the cooling system. I'm having trouble finding the coolant capacity. The owner's manual says 16.4 quarts yet a dealer poster I have says 10.0.
I've searched the forum and could not find a definitive answer. (I've seen figures for the 3.2 and the 4.3.)
Can anyone help me clear this up?
Thank you.

Thank you khomer2. So I guess I should believe the 16.4 (4.1 gallons) as printed in my owners manual.
