How many quarts of tranny fluid need to fill a 02 Yukon slt

Use Nissan Altima Automatic Transmission Fluid and it should hold about 10 quarts total. I would fill with 9 quarts and start the engine and circulate the fluid. Check the fluid level and add what you need.

5 quarts on an '02, also use the Dexron VI full synthetic

Did you check your trans dip stick? The tranny dip stick usually has a quart low mark. If this is a manual tranny, that is different, you didn't specify automatic or manual tranny?
{Automatic tranny, the spec is for dry fill, only. 10--12.7 quarts . Dry fill means not a drop of tranny fluid in the vehicle.}
You have to check proper fluid level, that is your responsibility. Your owners manual may have some of this info?

Ya. We had the oil shop change fluid $150. (force flushed). They under filled it by a 1 qt 1/2.
Then my son over filled it. Tranny died 4 months later.
Prior to that he drove in a rain storm flood and the nissan has a rediculas air intake dpwn by bumper caused water into cylinders. By a miracle the engine stoped but did not break internally.
Hate the industry. .

if the transmission fluid is brown or it hasn't been changed then I would flush it

Here is what I have listed, more than likely you have the 4L60E which is 5qts.
CAPACITIES
Engine, with filter..........6.0 quarts[1]
Cooling System, Initial Fill..........17.0 quarts
AMSOIL Antifreeze and Engine Coolant
Cooling System, W/ Rear Heat Initial Fill..........19.0 quarts
AMSOIL Antifreeze and Engine Coolant
Automatic Transmission, 4L80E Initial Fill..........7.7 quarts[2]

Automatic Transmission, 4L60E Initial Fill..........5.0 quarts[2]

4 speed 4L60E..........11.0 quarts
4 speed 4L80E..........14.0 quarts

Dexron VI is the way to go. As for a filter the choice is yours..Hope this helps Tim

CAPACITIES
Automatic transmission, 42LE Initial Fill..........4.6 quarts [1]

automatic transmission, Total Fill
4 speed 42LE..........9.3 quarts
Differential, Front..........1.5 pints [2]

1. With ENG at operating temperature, shift through all gears. Check fluid level in PARK and add fluid as needed.

2. 42LE transaxles built after 7-26-99 fill to 3/8" (9mm) below fill hole.

Hope This Helps.

********Make sure that you use the recommended type flluid ATF+4, as there are several types available. Using the wrong type of fluid will damage your transmission********

well first theres no plug to drain fluid, you will have to remove the trany pan, the pan gasket and filter need to be replaced,next thing is that it doesnt hold 12.8 qts, thats only if it was dry empty,just dropping the pan doesnt get all the oil out, the converter is still full and the lines and cooler,i would replace the filter and pan gasket then take to a garage and have a bg trany service done, this service gets 100% of the old oil out,your doing a drain and fill, this only takes about 6 qts,good luck.

No cause you only drain what was in the pan, the converter still had fluid in it, do not over fill

Hi there.A auto parts store or a dealership service department can help you determine the type of fluid recommended for your vehicle.The fill area is also the full mark,when adding fluid to the transmission or transfercase the fluid will come out of the fill hole and thats when you will know it is full.Its hard to tell how much fluid is is needed, every vehicle is different,but I believe the transfercase is between 2-3 quarts and the standard tranny is between 4-5 quarts.Keep your receipt and whatever fluids you do not use you can return.Hope this helps.John.

The four speed automatic shows a total fill (that is all the fluid it can hold) is 5.7 Quarts. So if you just dropped the pan and relplaced the filter, you shouldnt need more than 4 quarts and likely you would have a little extra with that.
