Fluid Capacities

Fluid Capacities
Got this list from the dealer of all the fluid capacities for a 2000 Dodge Dakota, but it includes All engines Except the 5.2L, transmissions and both rear ends. Maybe someone can sticky this or put it in the DYI section. Just thought I'd type it up for everyone as there are frequent questions concerning capacities.
Capacities are in Pints, quarts, or gallons. If listed in Pints, I've added the measurement in quarts as well.
Fuel Tank
Standard : 15 Gal.
Optional : 22 Gal.
Engine Oil With Filter Change
2.5L : 4.5 qts.
3.9L : 4.5 qts.
4.7L : 6.0 qts.
5.9L : 5.0 qts
(5.2L is most likely 5.0 qts. as well)
Cooling System
2.5L : 9.8 qts. (2.45 Gallons)
3.9L : 14.0 qts. (3.5 Gallons)
4.7L : 17.0 qts. (4.25 Gallons)
5.9L : 14.3 qts. (3.575 Gallons)
(5.2L Is most likely close to 14.3 qts)
Automatic Transmission
(Dry Fill Capacity - Depending on type and size of internal cooler, length, inside diameter of cooler lines or use of auxiliary cooler, these figures may vary.)
42RE : 19-20 Pints (9.5-10 Qts.)
45RFE : 28 Pints (14 Qts)
46RE : 19-20 Pints (9.5-10 Qts)
Manual Transmission
NV3500 : 4.2 Pints (2.1 Qts)
AX15 : 6.6 Pints (3.3 Qts.)
NV1500HD : 4.7 Pints (2.35 Qts)*
*Include .22 Pints for Friction Modifier
Transfer Case
NP231 : 2.5 Pints (1.25 Qts.)
NP231-HD : 2.5 Pints (1.25 Qts.)
NP242 : 2.5 Pints (1.25 Qts)
Front Axle
Model 194 : 3.0 pints (1.5 Qts.)
Rear Axle
8.25" : 4.4 Pints (2.2 Qts.)
9.25" : 4.8 Pints (2.4 Qts.)
Power Steering
Power Steering fluid capacities are dependent on engine/chassis options as well as steer gear/cooler options. Depending on type and side of internal cooler, length and inside diameter of cooler lines, or use of auxiliary cooler, these capacities may vary.
Capacities are in Pints, quarts, or gallons. If listed in Pints, I've added the measurement in quarts as well.

I just got done draining the trans pan and putting a new gasket on my Dodge Dakota 2000 SLT 3.9L, and it took me 6 Quarts to fill it, everywhere I looked it said it should only take like 4.5 quarts, it is not leaking and it has been running fine, my ? is, Why did it take so many Quarts? anyone!
