Transmission Fluid Change

So I'm thinking about changing the transmission fluid this weekend in my 2006 Impala SS, only because I just hit 60,000 miles and it has never been done. I am just curious if anyone knows how many bottles of transmission fluid I am going to need and also the best brand.
Thanks so much for any input on this

You will need 8 quarts of Dex VI (takes about 7.5 quarts so keep an eye on the level when you get close). You should pick up a new filter as well. Look for metal chunks/shavings in the pan because it should give you an indication of how your tranny is holding up. Good luck!

Changed mine a few weeks back. Use brake cleaner to clean out the pan. When tightening the bolts to the pan, they dont need much torque. Run the transmission through each gear and check the fluids.
