I have a 2013 1500 sport 4x4 with the 65rfe transmission. Can anyone tell me how much trans oil it takes to do just oil and filter change?

Thanks for the help.

Depends on how much you can get out, full change is something like 14 to 16 qrts. Just dropping the pan and not flushing I would bet between 6 and 8 qrts. The rest is in the lines and torque converter. My advice is to get your oil at a local shop that will take back what you don't use. And look up DYI tranny flush for 4 gen ram, figure out how to purge out of TC. Use an ester based oil like Motul or Redline it should double your oil change interval, that is even what they say at places like OilStop. Less often you need to do this the better.

What about royal purple max. Says it's recommended for chrysler atf+4 and is fully synthetic? Anyone use it?
