Fluid loss with filter change only
When changing main and lube filters at
recommended intervals, approximate fluid loss
for each filter as follows:
Main filter = 2 quarts (1.9 liters)
Lube filter =8 quarts (7.6 liters)
Refilling Transmission
The amount of refill fluid is less than the amount
used for the initial fill. Fluid remains in the
external circuits and transmission cavities after
draining the transmission.
NOTE
Quantities listed above are approximations and
do not include external oil cooler lines.
Using the oil level dipstick filler tube, refill with
24 US qts (23 liters) [28 US qts (26.5 liters) if
equipped with retarder] and check the oil level
using the Fluid Level Check Using
Pushbutton Shift Selector procedure in this
section.
