thats a good question? probably wont find it because the Z51 and Z06 have remote coolers and hold more, my guess is if you have a neither of those look at around a quart and a half to 2 (thats just a poke at your question tho). While filling fill the reservior up put the cap on and rock the wheel lock to lock. Do this a few times till the air is gone and the yelling stops. Tech tip:much easier to do if the front wheels are off the ground. Good luck and pm me if you need a hand

thanks for the info. In 2005 they didn't have the Z-06. This is just for the base corvette coupe.

I just need to know this so the power steering system fluid can be changed over to Amsoil. Have to figure how many bottles I will need.

My 2009 Service Manual says up to 4 quarts for a good flush, so actual capacity is somewhat less than that.
