I have a 94 C220 and am wondering how much coolant it takes if I want to do a flush. Is it 8 L total (50/50 with distilled)? And is this amount in reference to filling half way up the expansion tank? I'd like to know the exact amount because I am going to back calculate the ratio of coolant to mix (a little over 50%) based on the engine block being filled with 100% distilled after I flush.
Question about coolant amount

t takes me a couple if days to get it filled properly. I've drained it twice.
On MB systems (and BMW) you fill the reservoir bottle near to the top, right up to where the black portion begins. I then check it once a day to see if it needs topping off.

If you turn the ignition key without starting the car, then turn the heater and fan on to max you should-according to my mechanic- get most of the coolant in the heater core out.
I did this and found more coolant drained out, pretty close to 8 litres.
There is also a drain valve on right side of block, right below headers that looks like an over sized brake bleeder valve, you can open this and drain the fluid out of the block.
