My autobox has been playing up,I've took the sump off,changed the filter and resealed the sump.Ive put 3 litres of ATF in,yet when checking the level after warming the engine up and going through the gears the level is only on the cold measurement.I thought the sump only had 2 litres in.Can anybody please tell me approximately how much I need.Thanks.

I wasn't thinking. Volumes listed here instead.

With autos its always hard to say what volume as it tends to be related to how far its been broken down from just the sump oil to include the oil cooler and general pipework to what is held in the converter. The best I've ever managed in an auto oil change is 70% and the lowest is well under half of the system fill. On an auto oil change I always measure the volume that comes out and then its always roughly the same goes back in if the gearbox wasn't running low to start with. The last ZF box I did a few weeks back was 4.5l out and 4.6l in on a system that holds nearly 8l.

@dash there is a whole sub group of topics on this forum about the Autobox created primarily by David P. 

 

I believe its under the clubs tab above 

Hi Matt,yeah I've read a few of those topics,very helpful and informative.Gave me the confidence to drop my transmission pan,clean solenoids etc.Just nothing about how much  fluid approximately you need after changing the filter,dropping the pan.Ive put 3 in already and still only on the cold mark,when normally there's only 2 litres in the sump.Cheers.
