That unit holds 9.1 qts. of Dexron-III

He'll drain 1 qt. from the front pan(smaller of the two). It's known as the Adapter Pan. The main pan in my case drains 6 qts. if I let it sit and drain awhile. You'll end up getting 7 of the 9.1 qts. No drain plug on converter. Filter change easy once pan is off. Three - 13mm bolts hold the filter on. Wix makes a good filter. The markings/numbers on the Wix are identical to the dealer filter which makes me wonder if Wix made it after all. The pan gaskets are a bundle at the dealerships.

You can get them much cheaper from WEB sellers such as this site or wherever you choose to go. I use no sealer, just new gaskets.
