Fill it till it runs out....As for 600 I am not a fan and would rather use synthetic 90w140

Keep in mind that the original 600w oil is not made. Whatever is being marketed as 600w is some kind of modern synthetic oil.

Think of it like pouring a beer into a glass, you fill it to the very rim
Yes, I'm Irish/Scottish

How much? Until it runs out, as Dad would say.

Thanks folks! I had recently seen that if a trans were filled too high (to the plug) that there might be foaming which could lead to problems. I'll see if I can fill it to slightly below the plug, measuring to see how much it takes to do that.

(This is for my "avatar picture" project car but I can't post pictures of it here for fear of being run out of town.)
