I just reached 100k on my grand prix and whant to do a trans fluid change. Just wondering how much fluid do I need? Is it 2 gallons? also im dabating on 20" wheels for my GP so I don't think I'll be putting in a shift kit.

8 quarts, which i believe is close to 2 gallons..

20's are rough on the tranny. theres a lot of nice 18's out there. if you do go with 20's dont beat on it too bad.

Changing the filter and the fluid is a great idea. If possible, post up a picture of what is in your pan.

Kyle, QUART as in QUARTER. 4 Quarters=1 whole. 1 Quart=1/4 gallon. Sheesh, kids these days lol...

Another quick question, my manual says that my 05 GP (Base) uses DEXRON III, Just wondering if I could use DEXRON IV? Also a local autozone sells the filter for about $15 with a gasket. ZZP sells the filer by itsellf for the same price but the gasket is an extra $20. Which one should I buy?
