O3X5 - unless someone can confirm the EXACT amount you'll need on the drain and refill (inc. filter) you may just need to go with the ECS kit's 8 quarts. I've done 6 or 8 fluid changes on other gearboxes (Aisin-Warner etc. on Toyota's and VWs etc.) and it takes a couple of changes on any given transmission to get a good idea of the exact amount required. I usually ensure I have a litre or two extra on hand, just in case of spills etc. too.

For instance, I can tell you the 01M transmission in a VW Golf Mk.4 takes exactly 3.4 litres on a change (at 35 Deg. C) - nearly every time. Tells you I've done this too much!!
