There isn't an 'exact' quantity, you follow the refill proceedure until the fluid trickles out of the filler hole.
As a rough guide you'll need approx 5 litres, maybe 6  Never get mad - get even !!

Character, does the pan and filter come as two separate parts to make replacement easier given limited access. 2005, TDV6 S, Auto, 190k miles, owned from new, V8 Brake Upgrade, Nancom Evo, RLD protector, BAS EGR blanking & Remap, separate ATF cooler, changing all the fluids ahead of time.
