How many quarts would I put into the transmission? Can I flush the transmission? Or put an additive to increase the life of the transmission?
Do you
have the same problem?

9.75 quarts is noted as full refill, but as you do not drain the torque converter so start with about 7.5 and add to full mark as required. I would not flush or use any additive in the transmission.

Okay, thanks. I also am not sure of what type to use as I do not have the manual.
