The Amsoil website will list quantities for any vehicle for all basic fluids.
I would take that number and add another 2 quarts, to be safe. Especially if you tend to work late at night or on Sundays when most stores are closed.
Plan to have that amount on hand. Depending on how long you let it drain, the amount may increase. Or if you do cold versus hot.
