I takes 4.1 qts. of DEXRON®-III transmission fluid dry but you'll add less during a fluid change.

Took about 3.5 quarts when I changed mine... just depends on how much you can get out. The puddle on the garage floor and/or transmission fluid dripping down your arm will make it pretty obvious that it's had enough

Same here, 3.25 qt.

So after 1 flush - 20.7% of fluid in trans is original, after 2nd flush 4.3%, after 3rd flush 1%.
