If you look inside it, you can see like a triangular looking thing pointing inward and I think that's the max line, but if you follow that to the outside it says it, took me a couple times looking to find it

If you are only moving it and just want to know the capacity so you know how much Antifreeze to buy ... just buy 1 gal of FULL strength (which will make 2 gal of Mix-more than enough)... just fill jug half way with Full Strength then finish with CLEAN sink water (not from a garden hose) you can use bottled water("filtered" tap water) too ...
