I'll have to look again at the bentley to see where i got confused, but
I was puzzled by this as well when I went to do mine.  One section lists
the ~3 quart specification which is in fact referring to the
transmission capacity.  A later flip through the book made the correct
reference to the capacity at a little less than a quart.
