I believe that would have a 42RE transmission, in which case it
should take 4 quarts when doing a standard refill and filter change.
I think the total capacity is somwhere in the neighborhood of 8.5
quarts, but the pan only holds 4 - the rest is in the torque
converter, tranny cooler and all the little nooks and crannies inside
the trans.
