My 2011 Z4 3.0 needs a oil filter housing gasket. I'm planning to do the mickey mouse flange at the same time. How much coolant loss can I expect? I have a 1 litre container of fluid available. Will that be enough? If it helps, my car will be on a very steep incline when I do the job.

Relatively simple repair. Here is my tutorial.
