The transmission takes about 6.5 to 7 quarts of oil. The oil level should be 10mm from the full mark when cold.
Thanks Mike. I just did some searching and never realized that the fluid from the TC and the trans comingled. I am thinking now I should re-drain the pan as well and start with fresh fluid. The old fluid wasn't horrible, but it sure wasn't clean and I have already driven it about 50-60 miles with the new fluid.

Dammit.
