Depends on what coolant you're going to use..

Something like Evans waterless, yes you need to use they're prep fluid flush.

If its just standard water coolant mix, then no.

In the end it turned out that the total capacity is 2.9l including the reservoir...

I think I did a good job because it takes much longer to warm up, and it didn't go past 105C (before it got to ~112). One more thing: the fan only turns on at 103-105C - is this something normal?
