Hi.
I just took delivery of a 2009 5.7 1500 truck.
I cannot find anywhere, how much fluid is in the transmission. or the torque converter, or the total amount?
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks,
Jack

Also, is there a drain on the torque converter?
Thanks,

Service manual doesn't show one. It would be pretty unusual for there to be a drain plug on a modern TC.

Planning on filling it with some sort of snake oil?

No, I just got the truck. Fords use to have them and then stopped.
