Please don't use gear oil in your transmission only use dextron 3 transmission fluid that's what it's designed to use.It hold's about two quart's there is a fill level hole that tells you when it's full.When the fluid starts coming out the side hole then stop filling it then when it stop's coming out the level hole then your full.

Thank you Saturn tech 9 I thought it was an automatic type oil because it is red in color and very light weight.
