6-speed Tranny

Anyone want to take a stab at how many quarts for a drain and refill on a 6-speed tranny? Just wanted to know who has done it and how many it took. Any tips or pointers too. Thanks!

I normally buy 10 qts,, 7 for the trans, n 3 for the transfer case. Might as well do them both. I know it calls for transfer case fluid,, but I've been runnin ATF forever. U can prob get away with 9 qts tho. I use Mobil 1 full syn ATF in both btw

Btw, I've been runnin that setup n changing the fluid in both every 100k. I think it calls to change it more often,, but I got sick of draining clean fluid.
