    Per Bentley, the M60 takes 12.5 L / 13 qts of coolant. Yes there is a washer on the block drain plug, dealer sells it. Why not just add a 50/50 mix directly, then there's no guessing?

    Strange, I just had mine replaced and they only charged me for 10 litres. They said that's what it required. They had checked it before confirming with me which type of coolannt I wanted to buy as the BMW Blue was so expensive.

    Well, I'm not sure, I didn't get 100% of mine out either, only about 12L. Did they drain the rad as well? Also, i meant pre-mixing the BMW blue with distilled and adding. I found the BMW blue is actually cheaper than buying premixed generic stuff.
