Default Auto transmission fluid ?

What is the capacity on a 06 Ram 5.7 Hemi. I checked I my owners Manuel and it doesn't give the ATF capacity and I have looked online and found a wide range of answers.

Depends on what you're doing. If it's just a drop 'n' drain and filter replacement, usually around 7-8 quarts. A full flush (not recommended) takes about 17 quarts.

You should download the 06 Service Manual and look through it not only for this but tons of other educational information you will likely find the need for later on down the road.

P.S. - Check out page 28

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Service Fill - 45RFE/545RFE 4X2 - 5.2 L (11.0 pts.) 4X4 - 6.2 L (13.0 pts.)
Overhaul - 45RFE/545RFE 14-16 L (29-33 pts.) L
