727 Fluid Capacity with MP deep trans pan

[wally426ci]

I've asked this question before and Terry gave me the answer but I cannot find it in search results.....

I just fixed a few leaks and I need to refill, I don't think the converter lost any fluid but a little is possible....

Anyone know how much this puppy holds? 8 qts?

that should get u in the ballpark. might grab an even 10 even u don't need it now it will be on the shelf.

Thanks! I have 2 gallons, so I will see how far that goes. I need to move it out of the garage soon so I'll let everyone know.

4 qts should be close , if the converter is still full you will not need a lot

Is there anyway to get all the fluid out? I am considering putting Trick Shift fluid in.

Not unless you have a drain plug in your convertor. By the way B&M Trickshift is supposedly just Type F fluid. Just an FYI

That's what I thought, but I thought you might have some magical Mopar trickery that no one else knew about. Thanks

I had the same question awhile back, so which is it 8,10 or 4 quarts.

I'd use synthetic tranny fluid. Been using it for 10 years. Tranny running great, and cooler.

I've run Type F in all my mopar transmissions and never had a problem. Even hooked up a trans temp gauge
and never ran hot. It's all in the trans coolers I use evidently. I always bypass the radiator.

Well, I would guess that if you ran 1000 trannies hard for 100,000+ miles, and half had synthetic, and half
had dino juice, you would see fewer problems with those with synthetics.  Simply due to synthetics
lubricating better and lowering operating temperatures. The number one killer of trannys is heat.  But each to his own, as we have been going
back and forth on this issue for years.  Run what'ya brung!
