Its mercon V.
If your doing a filter change your going to get about 3-4 quarts out.
If your installing a shift, dropping the valve body will net you another 4 quarts.
The last two or so quarts is in the torque converter.
So an empty transmission will hold 10. whatever quarts the manual says.
I would recommend a flush over the just a filter change, granted its like 3 times the price. It worth it to me.

the best way is to flush the tranny then change the filter b/c when u flush you flush all the gung through the filter the flush keeps the filter looking ok but i would recommend flush then filter change but id wait till like 60,000 miles till you do both or what your owners manual recommends.

i wonder if when the pan is off if it would hurt the tranny to start the truck and cycle through the gears with the pan off to help get out some of the fluid?

thats what I was thinking, but I dont want to damage the tranny. I already changed the filter and the fluid but they gav me a rubber gasket and the instructions said to use a little grease to hold the gasket to the pan. I dabbed a few trouble spots and it is leaking from those areas!! so now it comes off to get cleaned and I will install it dry since no one near me has a cork gasket.
