Alldata DIY website sez the Syncromesh from GM should only be used in the 3650, not recommended for the T45. Royal Purple is the only way to go. Worth the $$$$.

NO, use max ATF, it is a dexron/mercron based fluid which is what the tranny calls for.

Hummmm, Alldata DIY sounds to have made a mis-print or typo on that info, Tremec themselves says NOT to use GM Syncromesh in the 3650 because that fluid will cause the syncronizers to swell and ruin them.

3.2 qts

I changed mine yesterday, an easy/no mess, way to do it is to take out both plugs, drain it, install botom plug. then I take the shifter off and fill in the shifter hole. At the 4th qt. i pour really slow untill i see/hear a trickle runing into the catch pan. then button up the shifter, install fill plug and good to go.

i'd wait a couple days at least before doing any quick shifting. the fluid needs to work its way into the gears and syncros. when i changed my fluid on the T-45 it ground for a while if i quick shifted, now its smooth as silk
