Auto transmission capacity?

I am going to do a 3x drain and fill. I have a bottle of Lubeguard... Directions say 1oz for each quart.. How many total quarts can my 2011 6 cylinder automatic transmission hold? Thanks

 

Right at 12 quarts. Be sure to subtract 12oz of ATF if you use the Lubegard. Each drain and refill is 3.5 - 4 quarts, I drain into a 4qt numbered paint mixing bucket.

 

That numbered container is a great idea

 

Why do you feel the need for lubeguard?

 

Why flush out the lubeguard each fill? Also I would only run 100% ATF, these trucks aren't known for failures.

 

That numbered mixing bucket is a good idea

 

I am going off seeing Gearcruncher, recommended it. It is not necessary?
No, problems, just need to be drained and filled, a few times

 

Maybe I will do some more reading
I was going to put it in on the last fill up

 

I dont think its necessary, but i guess it couldnt hurt. If you are good about changing trans fluid before it gets nasty I dont see why one would need extra additives.

Have a look at this thread for a proper flush procedure.

and have a look at my post in that thread about an easy way to fill the trans.

Yes indeed . That's how I fill transmissions and differentials - from the top and not down below where you are wrestling over and over with a hand pump. Top fill is the only way to go if you are a driveway mechanic.
