Default Transmission Capacity

I want to do away with the ATF in my transmission. And I found the oil want to replace it with. The problem is I don't know how much the G-56 holds. Can someone tell me how much I need to buy? Quarts,ect. Thanks

I believe its 5. It should have it in your owners manual under fluid capacities
