How much antifreeze does a 1996 cavalier hold?

If it is the 2.2 liter engine.. dealer specifications say 10.7 quarts

If it is the 2.4 liter engine.. dealer specs say 10.4 quarts

You need to use DEX-COOL. Havoline is a good brand, you can get that at any parts store. Make sure you either get a 50/50 diluted mix, or you can dilute it yourself.
