What is the amount of antifreeze put in chevy s10 truck?

I don't have the owners manual for my chevy s10 truck in order to determine how much I put in its container?|||fill it with a mix of half water, half coolant. fill up the radiator. start the truck and after a little you'll notice the coolant in the radiator go down. fill it back up to the top. turn off the truck. put the cap back on the radiator. now take the lid off the plastic overflow container and fill it half way. resecure the lid. BAM, you're done|||Opps I meant toecutter not ozman, thanks to toecutter. BAM I'm done.

|||hi the common approach is use a 50/50 anti freeze to water ratio to fill the radiator.|||usually a 50/50 mixture,and if its a newer model s10 you might want to use the red antifreeze instead of green.the green will corrode in aluminium parts quiker.i have an aluminium radiator that is new and i put the green iin it and i dont drive it.i checked it the other day and it starting to have corrosion build up in it already from the green.|||use pre-mixed coolant, probably take 5 quarts if empty. stop when level reaches proper line on reservoir.|||Good rule of thumb. use a 50/50 mix of water and antifreeze. Or you can use it strait out of the container. I prefer to use it strait. Why? Water can eat through head gasket material and cause aluminum corrosion. Anti-freeze acts as an anti-corrosive against head gasket failure and engine block corrosion and radiator corrosion. I have had 0-problems with aluminum engines doing this. plus after 90,000 to 100,000 i always re-torque the heads.
