My manual indicates that you need 12 gallons of drained fluid capacity. As I recall, I drained about 10 gallons and replaced the same amount.

Just having done this, 12 gallons in correct. After you run coach for a while I was able to add almost two gallons more bringing the total to 14 . Tech warned me about overfilling, but I have not had any run out so far. I keep sight full, he suggested otherwise. Will see

Thank you for the info. I would also like to know if there is a specific type of anti freeze I have to purchase, the stuff that is in the radiator now is green. Scooter 96 Intrigue 10203

Scooter,

The color of antifreeze means nothing so do not go by color. If you go with the Fleetguard ELC after a complete flush, you will be fine. Then all you have to do is watch your DCA/SCA levels.

And another option, if you go with Final Charge Global after a complete flush, in 3 years you add a quart of extender, then flush again at the 6-yr point and repeat. NO monitoring of DCA/SCA levels - just make sure you maintain a 50/50 mix.
