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

Nah, its fine if its just sitting there.

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
