The Bentley says 6.4 pints, but that may not include filling the
torque converter. I think if you buy 4 quarts you'll be fine. The
current ATF is now called Mercon.
While you're in there, replace the O-ring under the governor cover.
That's the round cover held in place with a spring bail, high on the
left side.
BTW, the final drive (differential) is separate. Change that, too. It
uses GL-5 gear oil, NOT ATF. I think 2 quarts should do it.
