Auto transmission fluid capacity
Well I just had the tranny rebuilt and now its time to fill it back up, but I can't seem to find specs on how much fluid an "empty" tranny should take. Anyone know???

It's taken me 17 quarts to fill a bone dry tranny with stock pan.
Don't think it's possible to ever get that much in again unless the trans is rebuilt.
Just dropping the pan it takes 4-6 quarts to refill.
As long as the fluid isn't discolored or burnt smelling it's a perfectly acceptable practice to just replace the 4-6 qts of ATF from a pan drop. The ATF itself is usually fine but the additive package may be getting low. The addition of just a few quarts is enough to replenish the additives.
