If completely drained from both the pan and torque converter, 14 quarts. If you drop the pan only, 5 quarts. DON'T OVERFILL!!!! Put the correct number of quarts and then check.
Recommended at every 25,000 miles
You add the fluid down the dipstick tube.
Automatic transmission is a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee uses ATF4. Use of other grades of fluid will cause damage to transmission. Addition to answer: The new ATF4 that they recommend is the recommended fluid due to Heat, load, speed and environmental stresses the transmission in these vehicles will undergo. There are other ATF fluids which even exceed the manufacturers ATF4 fluid... meaning they are even better for your transmission. For instance a Hydrotex HyTorque Trans Fluid exceeds the manufacturers ATF4 fluid by ALL specifications. But the original answer is correct, do not put anything of lower value into your transmission or it could cause damage over a long period of time.
Mopar ATF+4
For a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4.7L, the automatic transmission fluid capacity depends on a couple factors -- whether it's 2WD (RWD) or 4WD -- and also what specific transmission the vehicle was equipped with. For the 42RE transmission: 4.0 quarts For the 45RFE or 5-45RFE 2WD (RWD) models: 5.5 quarts For the 45RFE or 5-45RFE 4WD models: 6.6 quarts The recommended fluid type is MOPAR ATF+4
I wondered the same thing. The radiator doesn't only cool the engine coolant, It also cools the transmission fluid that comes from your transmission through the cooling lines. So your radiator has a crack somewhere and that would explain the transmission fluid leaking out. Hope that answers it. William @ JeepGrandCherokeeTransmission.com

Into the power steering reservoir.
Thru the dip stick tube, which you should find between the engine and the fire wall on the passengers side. Use a transmission funnel, and do not over fill. Follow instructions.
I was looking at a picture in the 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis Owner Guide and it shows the power steering fluid reservoir at the front of the engine compartment between the engine coolant reservoir and the engine air filter box
You pour it through a thin necked funnel into the dipstick tube
NO
It is part of the power steering pump assembly.
