55 manual says 17qt. I would use that capacity. 2 gallons of antifreeze is 8 qts, which is what you want for a 50/50 mix in a 16qt system. Look on the back of the jug, and depending on how cold it gets in your area, that should be fine. You can also get an antifreeze tester to see where you are at currently.
