Since I'm really lazy at this point and I have limited room to work on the car. How many bottles do you need? 2.5? 3 bottles?

3 quarts is sufficient. 4 quarts will sometimes cause overflow...and the last thing you need is transmission fluid on the underside of your car...can cause fires.

The transmission should just be filled until the oil flows out of the fill hole, right?

Like Carl said the transmission takes just shy of 3 bottles. That bolt to fill it is a b**** to get off considering I have the motor already installed.~ANDREW~
