Japanese term or phrase: その半分の容量に対するクーラント必要量の2倍を注入
冷却系統容量6Lの車でクーラント2Lを注入すれば、-18度Cまで凍結を防止します。上記容量以上の冷却系統に対しては、その半分の容量に対するクーラント必要量の2倍を注入してください。

Hmm.
Is it saying that for a cooling system with a capacity greater than 6 L, to:
A. Put in 2 x the necessary amount of coolant required for a system with 3 L of capacity??
B. Put in 2 x the necessary amount of coolant required for half the capacity of the system??
C. Other?

Put in 2 x the necessary amount of coolant required for half the capacity of the system
Explanation:
I think they are saying B.
I assume there is a table or something that shows the required coolant for capacities up to 6L. I also assume that the relationship between the capacity below 6L and the required coolant volume is not linear.

For 6 L capacity, you need 2L coolant, this is clear.
For 8 L capacity, you take half of that capacity, which is 4L, and look up the required coolant volume in the table for 4 L capacity, then multiply by 2.
For 10 L capacity, you take half of that capacity, which is 5L, and look up the required coolant volume in the table for 5 L capacity, then multiply by 2.
For 12 L capacity, you take half of that capacity, which is 6L, and look up the required coolant volume in the table for 6 L capacity (this is the only thing we know from your posted sentence, this is 2L), then multiply by 2. So, for 12L capacity you would need 4 L.
