Transmission Fluid

Hi all,

I've been searching for how many quarts (liter) of oil do I need for my transmission.

I have the GA6HP19Z and the fluid is 83220142516 but no idea how much.

Can anyone help me out?

I drained 6 liters and was able to put back 6 liters (until started dripping from the filler plug at operating temperature)

I bought 7 liters from eBay just be on the safe side.
Cost of 20.00 more is not worth the risk of not enough oil.

Going to do it this weekend along with the diff oil change.

Hoping to show old and new oil pics online.
My car has about 75k or 120km on it.

Yeah I agree, better safe than sorry. I actually just found in the Bentley Manual that "if you don't remove the torque converter then it is only 6 liter, but get 7 to be safe."

I'm also planning on getting differentials and transfer case fluid changes.

Do you plan on changing the pan? I found this... http://www.amazon.com/Automatic-Tran.../dp/B00B0MM2YE
