I know I ask this about every time I do a fluid change but I can't remember and I can't find an old thread where I asked. When changing the transmission fluid how much do I need to refill it with? I know In the past I added something and then ran it and checked it and added as needed. I can't remember if it was 5 quarts or what it was. What's the safe amount to start off with?

The truck is a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 360 and the 46RE transmission.

 

5 quarts, its also in the owners manual. and the parts store can tell you.

 

I thought it was 5 quarts but I couldn't remember for sure. Thanks.

 

Better get 6, mine took 5.5 when i did it a little while back.

 

I got 8 I just wasn't sure how much to start off with.

 

my 01 takes about 7

 

Mine took 5, and then after running it for a few minutes through the gears, needed an additional half.

 

Haynes says add 4 then check.
Mine takes 5-5.5.
If I let it sit overnight with the fluid drained and the pan stuck back on without adding fluid then it takes closer to 8.
