I use the Motorex 10W-60 full synthetic. I haven't had any trouble, and it's the only 10W-60 that's readily available here. Capacity is 3.5l, or just under a gallon.
I did a quick check through the (older) service manual and couldn't find the coolant capacity. I think it's between one and two gallons, but it's been a while since I drained one completely.
Coolant capacity is not in the manual, I actually rang MV here about this the other day cant remember exactly off the top of my head but it was very close to 3 litres (.8 gallon)...though I didn't get any coolant back from the shop when they did mine at the last service and I gave them 4 litres.
Andy (rents) replaced the coolant himself on his Brutale 750 and used about 2.5 litres. I was told by MV the differece between the two was not that much...although the F4 has an extra rad, the one the Brutale is a slightly thicker unit.
Thanks for the info guys, to let you know it needed roughly 2.5 litres to refill. Rockethouse, I think your garage owes you a litre!!! It was drained from the waterpump (useful info for you guys doing the waterpump mod) so I expect that there was some left in the lower radiator.
