If they are running an additive such as Water Wetter instead of coolant it doesn't change the 8.34 pound weight.

If they are using NOS Energy Drink as an additive I don't know the liquid weight change.

Facts get in the way of so many things.
I have never put 3 gallons in my car. 1 1/2 maybe 1 3/4 gallons, never 2!
