Default RE: Transmisson problem after oil change

I put 7 quarts in mine, I only let the thing drain for about 10 to 15 minutes, so there was probably another 2 or so qt in there of the old stuff so I think mine has a total of 9 qt. Did the manual say 2qt or 2 liters? Just curios might be confusing if it was in liters, which would 8 qt total? LOL I dunno

4 quarts are in a gallon. A 2 liter bottle of soda isn't as big as a gallon of milk, A quart and a liter are roughly the same size 1 gal= 4 qts= 3.89 liters.
a typical pan pull is 6 quarts or so. Let it drain longer (overnight) you'll get more. An extra deep pan could add as much as 4 more quarts.

PA-13 quarts sounds really high, did you pull the check valve in the tranny line going to the radiator?

With my 8 and 1/2 to 9 quarts I do have a cooler and the check valve is removed. Will this make it take more?

yes, the check valve will let the radiator and stock aux cooler drain backward and out of the tranny.

PA that makes a lot more sense. So does that whole system now run you 20+ quarts?
