'01 coolant system capacity?

Anyone know the complete coolant system capacity for an '01 3.4L 4Runner (w/ rear heat) off-hand??

I'm due for a flush and plan on doing the entire system (rad, block, and heater core(s) [rear heat]) + replace T-stat and all hoses, but can't seem to locate the system capacity after several searches.

I would think two gallons of red should do it, but don't want to run short...

If I remember correctly it's 9 litres, my owners manual is at home so I can't check for sure till this evening. That's for an '01 3.4l, rear heat, auto trans. 2 jugs would be more than enough though.

Good memory eric. For anyone else that cares, total coolant system capacity for a 3.4L w/ rear heater = 7.9 qt. (9.0L).

The 'Toyota Parts' guy yet again re-enforced my DIY maintenance beliefs. He actually tried to convince me that Toyota 'Red' comes "pre-mixed" and ready to "pour in". When I picked it up, I was sure to point out the directions on the back of the jug that recommended a mix ratio of 50%/50% or max of 65%/35%. Frickin' ding-dong...
