Default GS400 Transmission Fluid Capacity?

Does anyone know how much fluid (quarts) I should buy to drain & replace the transmission fluid on my 1999 GS400?

Thanks!

If you just drain and fill, then you'll need only 2 qts of Type-T trans fluid. Its around $5-7.00 per quart.

If you want to do a complete trans flush with the machine the hook up the trans cooler lines, then you will need about 14 qts.

Id buy 3, as it usually will take 2.25 or so quarts to refill. And its not a bad idea to have a spare quart layin around to top off between fluid changes...

i bought 2 wasnt enough then i bought 1 more and used about half of it.. the thing is tranny fluid is in ur torque convertor too so some of that runs out as well... you can never get an exact amount for just a tranny fluid change.
my .02 cents
