What is the refill capacity of the C6 (deep pan)?

I could not find a "fluid capacity" specifications section on your forum - so I'll ask here.

What is the refill capacity for my C6 transmission? it is a 1982 F250 4x4 with "deep pan".

The service manual says "refill capacity is 13-1/2 quarts" -- but is that with an empty torque converter?

I'm just replacing the transmission filter and I did not drain the TQ.

Thanks

Yes, that is with an empty torque converter. I confirmed that in General Automatic Transmission section of the FSM on Page 17-01-39, as well as in the C6 rebuild procedures on Page 17-10-27. Unfortunately no value is given for the torque converter or a refill w/o the torque converter.

Pretty sure when I swapped to a drained pan I put in 4qts, started the truck and let it warm up, then filled to the dipstick line.

Thanks.
I put in almost 8 qts before I stopped to ask the question. Now I'm overfull but my (aftermarket) tranny pan has a drain plug so I can drain some back out.

So 6 and then top up from there might be the best answer?
