water pump relacement

Putting a new water pump on and wanting to drain and fill radiator when I do. How many gallons of coolant does it take? 2002 dodge. What would be the best stuff to put in. Truck has 300,000 on it, thanks!

careful with the rad drain if it does not move easily, DONT force it or you will be buying a rad, I find it best to pull the rad hose, messy but safe.
I like amsoil AF, and I second the cummins stat
