if you remove the ppan, you need 5 quarts. if you look under the bell houisng thru the 2 inch diameter hole, the torque converter has a small drain plug, about the size of a 1/8 pipe plug. you may have to bar the flywheel around with a big screw driver on the teeth to get to the plug. The converter holds 8 more quarts if you drain that. If you have never changed the oil, it would be a good idea to do the converter also. If you remove the plug, loctite it back in. The oil is MERCON V. That is the new stuff. The old MERCON is what is being phased out, not the newer V.
