first, a little quirk I have... pre-94 they were 150, not 1500.
second, I've got a little more than 4 quarts in mine, I believe.

if all else fails, put three in, let it sit a few minutes, check it cold... if the level is pretty close to the minimum line, crank it up and check it hot

EDIT:
I just remembered, I have an after-market transmission oil cooler installed, so not sure what the differance in volume is between mine and stock
