Coolant capacity

Post by MN Ben »

I searched for hours on the web. Does anybody know the coolant capacity of a '88 bonneville w/ the 3800 engine?

wow, Thanks. I did a back flush and put in 6 quarts of coolant. That means it is mixed 50/50.

Thanks again.

Make sure you get it tested to be sure. Cheap insurance.
