I have looked through the searches and can't find any listing of how much tranny fluid I would expect to need with a filter change after letting it sit over night to get the most out of the torque converter. Any one out there got any close numbers from experience. Thanks in advance. And before someone mentions to make sure the tube is the correct size I was able to get hold of an original AC PF-169 filter.

Since you have the old which you caught in a pan,. put that much back, run it a bit, and check it using the dipstick cold mark. Then hustle it down the road and back to get it up to operating temp, check again (Hot mark this time)and fill to the mark.

I’ve been battling automatic fluid loss and would like to fill mine back to its proper levels. So just to understand after I drive it to operating temps then I fill to the top mark of the dipstick? Assuming the dipstick fill marks are similar to the oil dipstick. Sorry the coach is in storage and I just can’t remember how the marks are shown on the dipstick.
Thanks,

All levels are checked engine running in park. Cold level check running in park level is a staring point. Then check it again running in park after at least a 20 min drive. It should be at Full Hot but not ever over.
