OK These are from the Mitchell time manual,4.7 litres of engine oil originally 10w-30,this may start a major war but here goes I use full synthetic 5w-30 in my 1974. Your th/350 tranny uses Dexron 111.Fluid 2.8 litres if just draing and filling,or 11 litres if you are dropping the pan and torque converter. Rear diff. takes 1.8 litres of GL5/80-90 OIL Hope this helps you should post your location there maybe others near you who may be able to help in person.Cheers Eric

That's Dexron III (three) not one one one. Trying to save a little confusion when shopping for it.

The owner's manual lists all these.

That's 4.7 litres of engine oil if you also change the oil filter. If you don't change the filter then it takes almost 1 litre less.

When changing oil always change the filter,they are cheap.Changing the oil and not changing the filter is like taking a shower and leaving your underwear on....clean?but not really.
