Learned from the longtime Volvo heads over at turbobricks.com who have run the m46 a lot more years than we have.

What do you think is the suggested amount of overfill as expressed by quarts? Entire m46 takes 2.4 they say but it only took 2quarts.
Would you fill it using 2.5 or 2.75 or 3 full quarts? 3 qts would be a 25% overfill approximately.  compared to the factory 2.4 suggestion (of which it only took 2. So if 3 used, there would be a full extra qt in it above the 2 that normally filled the tranny with car being level.

Your computations are confusing me. The idea is to jack up the side of the car and fill the trans.

It's not a FINE filter, it's a COARSE open weave filter. Doubt you'll find much of anything in that filter.

Can't think of anything.

Yep. Best wisdom I've heard all day.
