digitaloutsider Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 El' Haynes o-Manual-o says 6-quarts. For a pan drop.. yes. It sounds about right for when I changed my fluid. The entire capacity is WAY more than that. And you live in Atlanta, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89Cutlass Posted May 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 I also read in my manual that it takes 6 quarts but to get a proper dipstick reading i needed to ad 7 quarts just to have fluid on the dipstick. Just wondering if anyone remembers how much they have added after a pan drop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe2fast Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 were you checking the fluid warm and running in park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89Cutlass Posted May 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 What i usually do is let the fluid warm up but not get too hot then check it after shifting through all the gears and checking it while idling in park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoroCorona Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 I've added up to 8 qts in mine to fill her up after the pan drop. I also let it sit for awhile and drip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
