Ams oil makes good trans fluid. As far as capacity I believe u fill it the same way as a t5. Fill it until fluid starts to pour out, then wait for it to stop pouring, and put ur plug back in. When checking the level during oil changes n shit , stick ur pinky in the fill hole and arch it down slightly, when u pull ur pinky out u should have fluid on it.

Correct. You don't want to fill higher than the fill hole or else you run the risk of messing up seals.
