Default GS 350 Coolant Change - Should I get 2/3 Gal?

Hello! I want to change the coolant on my GS 350. I am trying to figure out how much new coolant I need to purchase in order to fill after draining from the engine block and the radiator.
Some videos suggest I need 3 gallons to do this, but some threads suggest that a single change can only get 40-60% of the fluid out which is around 4-6 quarts.

Any suggestion? Thanks!

What was your procedure for draining the block?

It's easier to return an extra unused bottle of coolant than having to go to the store in the middle of your coolant job.
