how many quarts for fluid & filter change - automatic

45k on the 06, no heavy towing.

and it seems to hold each gear a few MPH longer than it used to.

it's under warranty, and they could drop the pan to do a clean & inspect,

but i think i would rather look at it myself.

but i don't know how to adjust the first gear band, might have them do it & adjust the bands during the clean & inspect

i have 12 quarts so far,
advance says 14 qts, 15qts, or 17qts, depending on which line you read

I squeezed in 14 quarts after cracking the line and blowing the rest out.

6 - 7 should be enough or purchase couple extra for inventory and top off. Use ATF+4 and Wally World is good source.

If it is just a pan, filter and gravity drain then 7 to 8 quarts.

If you blow out the cooler line then you can add 5 or 6 more.

Best option is to catch and measure what you drain.
