I think they're all around 10 litres give or take a bit. 5 litres of anti-freeze and top up with water. Thumbs Up!

You dilute the VX Red stuff 50/50 and just checked the capacity 9.5 Litres so you need a 5L container of coolant.

Flushing the system then adding 5L coolant neat and topping up with water will achieve the correct concentration.

If doing a coolant change, I would remove the bottom rad hose and let the system drain.  Refill with water, then drain again.  Refit the hose, add 5 ltrs neat coolant and top up with fresh water.  Resultant mix should be 50/50 or thereby....
