The smaller bottles of VW stuff at ECS and the Pentosin are 1.5 litre.

Default Guess it ultimately depends on what mixture ratio you're after.
For a 50:50, roughly a gallon of each works out.
If you're buying the smaller bottles like we carry, 3 of them is enough.<ul><li><a href="http://www.purems.com/products/product.php/II=1092">G12+ Coolant</a></li></ul>

Default Approximately 2.5 of the smaller ones PureMS sells at a 50/50 mix. JUST did it
last weekend. And it's always good to have a little extra for topping off in the future should you need it.
