1.5 Gallons, approximately.

Thats including the radiator, block, heater core. A completely dry system.

Its also in your manual.

Where are you located?

Just get the Mazda Fl22 coolant, its about 20 bucks a gallon and comes at a 45/55 ratio. Its also pretty decent in terms of performance as well.
