[V8] Cheap tranny fix....well kinda

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Well, Ron.  I was just thinking the 4 qts thing would work fine for  
the 90 (before leaks).  But I don't think that works on the later  
cars with the additional trans coolers.  I thought the additional  
trans cooler might lead to more fluid coming out and more needing to  
be added than the 4 qt rule of thumb.
