How many Qts of Trans Fluid in C6?

Post by slucent »

Does any one know off hand how many Qts of Trans Fluid I should be dumping back into a C6 Trans after a Fluid Change? I have found Numerous Spec Sheets but all seem to have a different answer!

Also - What is the BEST type to use in an OLD Trans with Unk Miles on it - in Colorado at 6K Ft elevation?

Thanks!

His Chilton's is listing the capacity in pints, not quarts.

I don't think i used all 12 think i used around 11 like 10 and a partial. But if ya get 12 you will have enough for sure. Always good to have some on hand just in case of emergency
