I know it’s takes almost 8 just after a pan drop/filter change.

sorry, cant help you regarding a “dry” tranny.

also, if you aren’t aware, when you get within 4-5 QTs to be full, you must start the truck to get the last few QTs in. You may have to start before that to get the torque converter, cooler, etc full.
