It takes 12.8 quarts if you drain the tranny and the TC.

If you only drain the pan you will need about 6-7 quarts. Also, if this has never been done before you will find a plug in the pan. This is just a dust cap from the assembly line and can be discarded. Be sure and change the trans fluid filter also.
