Total, it holds 8 and some change. But start at 5 and top up from there.

No point in bothering to change the filter if you're going to leave 2/3 of the old oil in the system. The TC is just a 5mm allen key away from draining.

you might consider taking it to a shop for a full system flush!

I use M1 manual tranny fluid in my ZF 5 speed, since it has no corrosive EP, it works out quite well, I also use it on my transfer case and diff. Chevron also makes an excellent boron based manual tranny lube which is safe for soft metal synchros used in ZF manual tranny.
