Question Coolant Flush DIY?

I'm thinking about flushing my coolant and I was wondering how many gallons will I need? Is there a DIY how to flush the coolant because I've searched but no luck.

TIA

Since I live in a hot climate, I just drain the coolant and put one gallon MB coolant back in and the rest I use distilled water to top off. Coolant totals can very based on what cooling mods you have.

Is there a bleeding process to get any air bubbles out of the system?

Personally, I haven't changed out the coolant, but here's the factory instructions for our 113.990 (E55 AMG Kompressor engine) for reference. There's probably a cheap DIY method without having to go the dealer tools method for bleeding the coolant--hope others chime in.

Of note, in the factory instructions, don't follow every step if the Model 211 isn't listed in it.
