You fill it through the same hole that you check the level. Just use a funnel and your good to go.

When I did mine on my previous car I had installed a converter and a tranny cooler. So it was more than 5 qts. Look in the owners manual under capacities and see what it says with a filter change. That should get you close, then you can add more if needed. Good luck man.

yes 5 quarts will do it......start off with 4 quarts and let it run for a bit and then check to see where its at on the dipstick.Add as needed after that.

Yep, 4-5 quarts for a pan drop and filter change is normal.

When I did mine for the first time last year it was 4 qts with a pan-drop and new filter.

Put in 3.5 or so and check. Put in another .25 or so and check. Repeat until you get where you want to be. Don't forget the hot/cold difference.
