Coolant Capacity
I searched all over and I can't find the info specific to ML350 4matic (W166 with M276 engine). I also cannot find the info in the owner's manual. I saw a youtube video for a bluetec where it says 12 liters. Is it 12 liters also for the gas engine?
I want to flush the coolant (160,000 miles). After flushing the system 2-3 times with distilled water, how many liters of the premixed BQ1030004 should I use and just top the rest off with distilled water?
The old coolant is also blue so I think I am not mixing different coolants.

I have the operators manual which has only 392 pages. I was about to just do a drain and not do a flush but now with this info, I can do a flush and do the math to get close to 50/50 mix. Thanks web47b1me.
