A trans drain an refill is about 2.6 quarts, get 3 quarts. Before doing this service research the internet on how to do it. There is no dipstick. The official procedure is much more complicated then just draining and refilling. Suggest recording the quality of fluid that drained out to compare as to what refilled.

The differential capacity is about 1/2 quart, get 1 quart.

When doing either trans or diff fluid change, make sure you can loosen the fill plugs BEFORE you drain out the fluid. It has happened the fill plug is frozen.
