I'm getting ready to do an oil change in the trans in my '53 Customline.

I will be using Type F fluid but how much of the stuff should I buy?
Been searching but can't really find any information.

Last time I bought type F it was 9 qts. from Walmart.

If you have an owners manual, then it should be listed under "Capacities"

I do not have an owners manual.
But 9 qts. should equal about 9 litres.

9 U.S. quarts. Pretty close to 9 litres. Need a manual for your 53 Ford? They have one online at http://oldcarmanualproject.com/manua...1953/index.htm
