Cooling capacity on M103 in a W126 is exactly 3 gallons. Dunno about other cars.

They will if you dump it in their oil recycling tank! Just pretend you've got oil in there, and walk to the back and dump it in!

I have often debated if my doing this was wrong, but I have decided that they have to separate that crap anyway, and obviously they have to do it in a manner that allows for water and other liquids being safely removed from the oil. I'm sure its a pain for them to do, but hey...... They sell anti-freeze and don't take back the waste? WTF is that BS?

So yeah, I just dump it in with the oil. I sometimes mix it in with my used oil. The one time they said anything, I said "cracked head gasket" and they just said "oh".

Seriously, what do they expect us to do, drink it?
