I'd say you're gonna need another gallon of antifreeze. You've got a 6-quart cooling system. @gallons antifreeze with four of water will only gt you down to zero. 2-1/2 gallons of antifreeze and 3-1/2 water will take you down to -15. Half and half will be good down to -34.
Myself I'd drain it completely, put in whatever amount of antifreeze you decide on and then top it off with water. As part of the process, it couldn't hurt to do a rough measurement of how much water you get out if you do drain it. You'll never get it all anyway, but it will give you an idea of how much cooling capacity might be lost to sludge in the water jacket. The closer you get to six gallons out of it, the cleaner your system is.
And stay away from the premixed stuff, if only for price. A gallon jug of 50/50 premix is usually only a buck or two less than a jug of the straight stuff. 6x$13=$78. 3x$14=$42. Nuff said about that!
The chart below doesn't show a six-gallon system, but use the twelve gallon and cut in half to determine the mix.
