    Hello. Have QSB 5.9 engines. Is 7 gals of antifreeze enough to run through each engine for winterization?

    Should be fine. I run 6 gallons through my 6BTAā€™s. I first pull the zincs to drain the coolers to minimize dilution. I catch what drains out the transom exhaust outlets and check with a refractometer and itā€™s always a match to whatā€™s in the jug.
