I think the Hurths take 4 qts. Mine are brand new and I haven't changed the fluid yet. I have to this week though. I'm past the breakin hrs. Gene Dugan Boca Raton, Fl. "Nauti Marie" 1989 33 FBC

Gene, Those Trans filters are not cheap when you have to change them.

Tim, my Crusadar guy told me if they look clean, to just spray them with a carb cleaner, let them dry and put 'em back on. They are metal on my 2007 models. Naturally if they were to show sludge or over a period of a couple changes I would change them. I did one side last night and there was no hint of dirt or metal particles @ 80 hrs.
