For a complete drain and fill, the capacity is about 16 quarts. If just doing a filter change, the capacity is closer to 7 quarts.

There is no complete maximum capacity for all dock plates, but each one has its capacity. You should be sure to check with your dock plates before doing this.

The bottom pan capacity is 6.5 quarts.

The complete overhaul capacity is 9.5 quarts.

The dry capacity is 12.9 quarts.

The Dakota 4.7 take ATF +4 fluid, not Dexron or Mercon. The capacity for a 45RFE transmission is 14 quarts after a complete drain. Otherwise, it is 10 quarts for a complete drain, or 4 quarts for a filter replacement.

Get a Hanes or Chilton repair manual, it will say. The capacity really isn't critical unless you are doing a complete teardown and completely draining the system.
