I have a coupon from the dealer for a $40 antifreeze change. Find print says I get up to 1 gallon of antifreeze. Mix that with water and I have 2 gallons total. What is the capacity for a 2009 Liberty? Want to make sure it isn't more than 2 gallons so the dealer can't gouge me for extra fluid.

Most coolant change deals drain out 1 gallon from the cooling system and refill with 1 gallon of new 50/50 premix. Which obviously is less than a complete system replacement, but it should be OK if your cooling system is in good shape otherwise.
You can do the same thing yourself for about $20 of G05 coolant from NAPA or whereever.

I had a feeling the coupon wasn't all that and a bag of chips. Like you said, it's just a radiator drain. To flush the entire system and replace all the coolant is $140 (ouch). The tech said the only way to get all of the fluid out of the system is to do a flush. Might have to consider doing it myself now.
You can do a flush yourself in an afternoon.
Just have a lot of jugs handy to catch the old coolant and bring it to the local recycling center.

Is it easy to catch with a milk jug?
Bought the Jeep brand new and now have 73,000 miles on it. Always thought when you changed the antifreeze, all of it had to be changed. If I can get away with just draining the radiator, then great. Since I'm only replacing part of the entire antifreeze capacity, should I do radiator drain and fills more often?
I just drained and refilled the radiator on my 2006 Jeep last year. Didnt have as many miles as yours, but coolant looked clean so I dont plan to do it again for another 5 years. Most likely something else will trigger the drain sooner, blown hose, water pump, radiator who knows.
