How many quarts of fluid can a stock f body 4l60e pan hold?

 

Thanks. Anyone else?

 

there is allot of variables when filling up an automatic transmission

is the converter filled ?

was the oil cooler flushed ?

did the valve body still have fluid in it ?

that is why you can not get a straight answer from anybody, best thing to do is fill up the tranny till you can see fluid on the dipstick, start, go threw all the gears and make sure you let it stay in every gear for about 3 seconds, then throw it back in park and check the level, and continue the same method if it needs more

when i changed the transmission filter and all the oil that was in the pan, it took about 6.5 liters

 

I just want to drop the pan and buy some fluid. I just wanted to know how much to buy...

 

In that case, 4 to 5 quarts.

 

what ^ he said but i would go with 6 quarts just in case

 

then buy 7? if you dont use it take back to the parts store or keep it for future needs.
