If you mean how much fluid needs to be replaced after you drop the pan and change the filter its 6-6.5 qts for the 4t65e transmission. Should be close to there for 4t60e.

seriously though, make sure you know how to properly fill and check the fluid level of your tranny fluid, or it'* going to be a sad day...

if you do decide to drive the car, be sure to bring a quart or two of fluid in the trunk, just in case. Probably a funnel too.. it'* kinda hard to fill up ATF without one . And whenever I add fluid to my transmission, I like it at 3/4 full on the crosshatched area. That way it'* definitely not going to run low, and not going to overfill it. Same thing with engine oil.

Default reading the level

I have a hard time reading the level... Are there any secrets or am I just color blind or something?

Look for the fluid being thick on the dipstick. As well turn the dipstick over and look at the other side. Can be a pain at times.

I did take the extra fluid and funnel just in case. No problems. Thanks
