Default How much antifreeze?

Hi, my 4.0l engine runs a little cool. So will change the thermostat which is the most likely culprit. May as well flush the system while I'm at it. So am wondering how many litres of antifreeze to add. Couldn't seem to find an answer searching the threads. Just another thing. Where are the bleed screws? Thanks. Rob.

I belive it is a 12 system. So you want 6L anti-freeze. My radiator has no draincock. Could not find the block drain as shown in the pubs. I drained by disconnecting the lower hose. Got about 2 gals. Topped up with distilled and brought it up to operating temp. Drain/fill/run. I had "good color" after 10 gallons of distilled.

There are no bleeders.
