First fill prior to starting it took 3 quarts to fill the pan. Then after letting it warm up and cycling the gears it took another 3 quarts. I was filling it up a quart at a time and then after the third, I tried half a quart and it ran out. So hopefully that's the right amount. The car definitely shifts better than before, my guess it was actually low on oil aside from the chocolate and burnt oil that was remaining. Nothings dripping as of yet, so I would say mission complete! Now was that worth saving 220 dollars for the first time, I'm not sure. But it should be much easier the next time around.
