A 2002(pre-facelift) 4.4 takes 12.5 ltrs of coolant

May as well put the others here:-
ALL E53....3.0i= 9.5 ltrs
4.4i after 10/2003 = 14.4 ltrs
4.6is..............= 12.5 ltrs
3.0D turbo......= 10.0 ltrs

I think the numbers above represent liters of coolant which should be a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water...
