Need to know how much fluid to buy (beyond just the tranny)

I'm having a friend who's a mercedes mechanic take my truck to the dealership after work one day and service my truck. I'd like to have him flush my tranny and replace the filter. Change the diff fluid front and rear and t-case fluid. I'd like to go to sythentic.

Just wondering how much fluid and what viscosities are needed for each piece. Also any part numbers for tranny filters and gaskets would be great!

Tranny - amount/type, part numbers for filter and gasket (anything else needed)
T-case - amount/type
Front - amount/type
Diff Rear Diff - amount/type


Thanks!

Get your owner's manual out, flip it to the back where the capacities are listed, and give Royal Purple a call. They will guide you through which compatible fluids to buy and how much.

I just added Royal Purple 5W20 Motor Oil, Purple Ice Super Coolant, Max ATF, & 75W140 Gear Oil to my truck.

My local Ford dealership did all the work so that the car stays under their warranty. Even the techs were saying that it was a good thing to use the Royal Purple fluids. I supplied the Royal Purple, Ford did the labor, and I even got all the gaskets & sealants thrown in for 2 billable hours of labor.
