Thanks!

Can't find that in my reference material, which is probably why no one replied already. I'll keep searching, but in the meantime, we never worry about capacities because it takes too much of our customers time to be looking up things like that. A typical capacity for a three-speed would be around nine quarts. I'd start with six or seven, then, when you feel it go into a gear, run it through all the gears, stopping in each one for a few seconds, put it in "park", then check the level. Keep adding until you get to the level shown on the dip stick.
