Can someone with access to the Mercedes manuals kindly post the total coolant capacity for the non-turbo 300D engine (617.912). This is for a

1980 300TD. Also the correct coolant/water ratio. The best antifreeze to use is still Zerex G-05, right?

Thanks in advance!

11.7 quarts. 50/50 ratio is ideal.

Although 50/50 is the usual recommended mixture, it's best to read the coolant bottle for mixing instructions...

Nowadays some coolants require different mixture or no water at all.
