Yes,You can use Dexron VI in your '04 (Its approved for all past applications calling for Dexron II/IIE/III)

 

The tranny will take 5 quarts if your just dropping the pan (This is for the 4L60-E tranny)

The rear-end will take just over 2 quarts (2.15 as per the service manual for the 8.625" rear-end)

I'm sure he can do the math: 4.2/2 = 2.1 qts

I changed my rear diff fluid today. I was able to get about 2.75 qts in the rear diff.

 

Buy 3, and fill until it overflows out of the fill hole.

 

I used Royal Purple this time.

Could you specify that capacity in cubic nanometers, please?

 

And also in hectoliters.
