jboulukos Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Drained the coolant from the radiator today. Added half coolant and half distilled water, only took approximately 4 liters total fluid mixture. Took it for a drive, opened cap, radiator remained at the full level. According to the 1978 B210 service manual, the cooling system for automatic transmission has a capacity of 5.7 liters (6 quarts). Is it possible there was approximately 1.7 liters that remained in the system after draining the radiator for more than 5 minutes with the radiator barely dripping when I put the drain plug back on prior to filling?
