2.5-3 qts of dexron III ATF (automatic transmission fluid)
basically drain and fill until you can feel the fluid through the side fill hole.

Use anything that is Dex/merc approved. You can use Dex/merc III, IV, or V but do not use synchromesh as it is thicker than ATF. We use ATF because the ATF is thin enough to mesh in with the roller bearings and the synchros.
