Yes, it could be.

I would guess about six quarts...
low transmission fluid or your tranny could be going out.
For best performance it would be best to do so every 30,000 miles.
There could be a transmission fluid leak. Check the seals. They may be loose or worn out.
Automatic trans, 50K, standard trans, 100K.
No, but it could cause higher then average wear on the transmission.
Engine oil would be 10w-30. Brake fluid is Dot3. Power steering and transmission take Dexron 3. The differential is 80-90w GL-5.
I had the same problem, I changed the fluid. The new fluid did slow down the slipping, I would get further distances before the transmission begin to slip but ultimately my transmission was wearing out and eventually needed replacing. The car was worth 1600$ while the transmission cost 2300$ I Didn't fix the transmission and traded it to the dealer for another car.
There is no such thing as "transmission oil" there is only transmission fluid, but but over filling the reservoir could cause serious damage to your transmission..
It would be to your advantage to go to bgfindashop.com and locate a shop near you that uses BG Chemicals and equipment. The transmission has a cleaner put in it to dissolve the varnish buildup. Then the entire system is completely flushed and exchanged with new fluid. Then a conditioner is added.
Check the level of your transmission fluid, it's critical you have enough. If your fluid level is correct, the clutches in the transmission could be worn out, in that case you would need to rebuild the transmission or replace it. Make sure the fluid is a nice red colour and not brown and smells burnt.
Could be low level or dirty transmission fluid
