How Much Fluid C-6

1970pickup · Post by **1970pickup** » Mon Nov 13, 2006 11:37 am

I just put in a new C-6 with a new converter. I am using the stock tranny cooler in the bottom of the radiator. How many quarts of fluid do I need. Please only respond if you know for sure. (The people who respond by suggesting looking in the repair manual are appreciated but not helpful)

Thanks Jack

The Chiltons says 25.5 pints, which is a little under 7 quarts, but that's not considering the fluid in the converter. You'd 10-11 quarts to fill the pan and converter.

I may be an idiot but isn't there 2 pints in a quart ?

whoops.....yep, you're right, sorry about that. That's what happens when your mind isn't paying attention to what your fingers are typing.

be sure to buy a whole case.

and- make sure you put about a quart of oil in the torque converter before you put the transmission on, or else you'll burn it up.

man, when i first put my engine and transmission in my truck, i forgot there was tranny oil in the trans, i pointed the tail of the transmission down, and boom 25.5pints of tranny fluid on my driveway.

You'll need 12+ quarts.
