    I think i used 6 or 7 bottles. Not all the fluid will drain out 8 bottles would probably be for a bone dry trans?

    Spec says 6.5 quarts, Each time I'm using 7 almost 8 quarts. Once I left the trans open for a week with only the pan missing. 10 quarts.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I had always heard 7.2 quarts for a pan drop. And 12 for a dry tranny.

    I let the pan off for long enough to clean it with brake clean and change the filter. Probably 20 minutes tops.
