What year, make and model. I have that info but need the info to do the lookup and don't want to give inaccurate information.

Btw-Don't know of any info source that gives the cooler and line capacity, probably 1-3 qts more or less.

Here is the info I have.......

Allow an extra 1-3 qts for the cooler and lines. From prior experience, about 15 qts should be enough BUT depending on who is doing the work (pro or amateur), it could be less and it could be more. Flushing the trans is not a precise operation, spillage can and often does occur so be prepared with enough fluid. Good luck.

If you want to verify, try this link.... APPLICATION LOOKUP GUIDE

There are links here to ATF change procedures you might find informative.
