slk 230 rad flush

Does anyone know how much antifreeze is needed for slk230 and is it a 50/50 mixture? What is the best way to flush? I have a suction to suck out coolant, but I guess it is better to drain? where is the drain plug located? Do I add water and let it run for half hour then put the new antifreeze in? Any ideas will help. Thank you

2 gallons of 50-50 mix will be more than enough. The drain for the radiator is at the bottom, driver's side. When you refill the coolant, run the engine with the defroster on until it blows hot air, to get water circulating through the heater core. Run a final check of coolant level, then you're done.
