what the hell are you talking about...
III fluid?
are you talking about transmission fluid?

and what exactly are you trying to fill?

specifics please.

This should be good. I don't think an LSx engine requires 8 bottles of anything.

again.. what is the III fluid you are talking about?

post a picture or something..

the only III that is possible is transmission fluid.. dexron/mecron 3

4L60E takes about 8 qts Just keep checking the dipstick.. engine must be running and tranny in neutral
get 4 or 5 in there before you start it up

T56 takes around 4qts
