How much transmission fluid?

[deXtrous]

Hey folks, I did my transmission filter today and topped it back up with some tranny fluid.

I thought it would take a lot so I put around 2L in there, but the dipstick is showing that its WAY over filled...

Anyone know how much tranny fluid a VS can take from empty?

cheers.

start up your engine then re- try should take 3 - 4 ltrs

My battery is dead, is there any problem with leaving the 2L in there for a few weeks?

cheers for the help! phew

How are you checking the level then, if yor battery is dead?

Car needs to running, hot and idling in park or neutral before you check the level

Service manual says to add approx 4.8 litres following a fluid change and filter replacement in a V6. You have a long way to go.

im unsure of how much oil an auto trany takes but, what affects oil levels in a auto is how much oil is in the the torque converter

if u buy a 5ltr bottle of tranny oil just empty the whole thing, but make sure u completely drain the fluids from the tranny before replacing it Ive done it with mine and i got no issues with fluids
