put about 1 quart in converter, install trans, put six quarts in trans , start in neutral wheels raised, add till full, run car through gears several times with wheels raised, turn off car, check for leaks and over all you have done, lower car, start car in park recheck and top off fuild if needed,drive car normally for rest of day, Next morning start car,run till warm, check and top off fluild. Thats it, And any fuild that meets or exceeds dexron mercron requirments is fine.

I would buy 10 to be on the safe side you can always take one o two back but it would suck to come up short but it will probably hold a total of 9 to 9.5 quarts

OH NO, NOT A PERFORMABUILT!
Just kidding. I have heard nothing but good things about their transmissions. Best of luck, and enjoy. But know that I am jealous, dang it.
