Default How much coolant required for timing belt change?

I ordered a kit that contains the required parts and some preventive ones for the timing belt and waterpump change.
The last thing I need to determine is the amount of coolant I will need to bring to my mechanic.

I have a sealed bottle of toyota long life red in the basement(been there for 2 yrs now?)
This is 3.78L bottle + distilled water to bring it up to 7.5L for 50/50 mix.

Is this enough or I need to get even more?

I needed 2 gallons of the Toyota Extra Long Life (pink), which is pre-mixed.

So with the red, you will need 1 gallon and then 1 gallon of distilled water. Or whatever percentage of mix you want to do.
