94 idi fluid capacities

Hi I had a few quick basic questions about my idi. I have a 94 idi turbo auto transmission.
1) What is the oil capacity of the truck. including the oil filter.
2) what is the capicity of the transmission. I plan on changing the filter. It was also drained from the two hoeses that run the tranny fluid from transmission to the rediator.( I replaced the rusted ones). I do not know of those lines dranined the torque converter.

Thank you very much

1) 10 qts with stock filter, 11 with 7.3 PSD filter
2) IF you completly drained it (including torque convertor) 16-18 quarts, more likley the torque convertor is still full so probbly only 10-14 quarts

transmission capacity

so you think by draning the fuid out of the lines that run to and from the radiator I did not drain the torque converter? that is what i was thinking originally. You said to put in 10-14 quarts. how many do you put in yours? I was looking for an exact number just to be safe.

thank you

Honestly I dont know for sure but was probbly around 8-20 qts but I just poured from a 2.5 gallon jug untill the dipstick read just over full (also installed new cooler) and then ran the truck some and double checked
