[QUOTE="Speartip, post: 456856, member: 23341"] The 42RLE trans doesn’t come from factory with a drain plug. Don’t think most auto transmissions come with a drain plug. So most crack a corner of pan seal to drain bulk of fluid . OP. The fluid capacity of the transmission is 8.8 quarts or 8.3 Litres. It’s a much better idea as @Dirtydog mentioned to go by specs for fluid capacity rather than what comes out. As heat will burn some off over time . Edit Should note 8.3 litres is dry capacity or complete fluid flush. It’s closer to 4 Quarts if doing a pan drop as oil will remain in Torque Converter / cooler & other parts . So would suggest to add 4 quarts after draining pan and top up after warmed up . [/QUOTE]
