This question has been asked before. The answer depends on why you are asking. Draining fluid with the drain plug, refilling will take about 4 quarts. You should do this at least yearly to get long life from your transmission. Good luck! --Ken
4..5 QUARTS
Dexron III. It will take around 4 quarts if you drain using the drain plug on the transmission driver's (left) side.
8.2 quarts
You didn't specify automatic or manual transmission Forester. I can only answer for the automatic. Drain plug is on the left (driver's side) of the transmission. You will need about 4, maybe 5 quarts of Dexron for refill. This is for a maintenance oil change, not if you are trying to cure some problem since you cannot drain the torque converter in this way. Yearly performance of this service is recommended. Since you are asking in this forum, it may be best to take your Forester to a professional to perform this service. --Ken
How many quarts of automatic transmission fluid does the 2001 Toyota Avalon automatic transmission hold?
For an automatic transmission, a drain using the plug in the left side of the transmission pan takes around 4 quarts to refill. It is recommended that you do this at least once a year. Dexron III is what you buy at the store. --Ken
This question gets asked at least monthly on this forum. This answer is from my owner's manual: Manual transmission: 3.7 US quarts, Automatic: 9.8 US quarts You didn't ask how much a drain and refill for an automatic takes, and that is about 4 quarts. Do this every year using the drain plug on the driver's side of the transmission and it will greatly extend the life of the unit. --Ken
I believe that your 2006 is similar to my 2000 and 1996 models. When you drain the fluid via the drain plug on the driver's side of the transmission, refill is about 4 quarts. This is not the same as the total capacity of the transmission because you cannot drain the torque converter this way. Changing the fluid every year is the best way to extend the life of your transmission.
5 & 1/4 Quarts with filter change.
