Coolant Type? Left manual in shed...

Hey, can someone do me a quick favor. I left my truck's owners manual in my shed, and I am at work.
I was checking all my fluids, as I do every few months, and noticed that my coolant level, when the engine is cool, is all the way at the bottom of the reservoir, where the neck starts to get skinny at the bottom. I am guessing the "MAX" marked line, is a cool reading, and should be topped off to there.
I figured I'd stop on my way home, get some coolant to top it off. But...my manual is not in my truck..
Can someone let me know what the factory fill is for the 06 Dakota V6? Its been 4 years and 45,000 miles, I should be flushing soon, I know, but for now, I just want to top it off, and I will do a flush in the summer.
Thanks.

Yeah mine didn't have any cooling problems. A quart low really would harm anything, but at least it lets me know its time to top it off.
It took about a quart, to get to the "MAX" line when the truck was warmed up. So it was 1 quart low.
Would you guys say that's pretty normal for 45,000 miles on the coolant?
