    If it's a 4HP-22, US models take a little over 3 quarts.

    i just put in what ever was drained out. I do know she took the whole 4L bottle last time. Like at 3.8L it read under the low mark, at 4L it reads above the high mark. how can i win? you are replacing with synthetic dexron 3 right?

    Actually, the capacity is something like 6 or 7 quarts. You can DRAIN about 3 or 4 (maybe 5 if it sits overnight with the pan off), but fluid stays in the torque converter.

    best, whit

    2 litres pouted out, did you replace it? It looks like your not going to mate,I'd be worried.
