So you mean to refill after a drain? Then yes, about 9 - 9/12 liters. I took10 to the dealer and they only opened 9.

If you mean the factory fill, that is 11 liters.

I can confirm 11.5 quarts for a track fill…watched them while they did the service this past Feb. So 2 quarts less for standard fill.

I agree the bottles are labeled as 1 liter but most of the product descriptions are labeled like this:

ACDelco GM Original Equipment FFL-4 ACDelco Automatic Transmission Fluid - 1 qt

Really? We are going to argue this? They are 1 liter bottles. 1 liter is actually 1.057qt. 9.5 liters is 10.0qt.

I wasn't arguing, I was just pointing out that it is understandable that some people call them quarts. That the way they are marketed. But the correct term is liters.

Just adding to the confusion, is it still 9.5 for the newer DCTs? I know they no longer take 2 extra for track fill.
