Fluid Capacities for Stock Vehicles

Since this is a question asked so often, I think it would be helpful if I post the fluid capacites of various components, as well as the recommended specification for the fluids used.

These fluid capacities and recommendations are taken directly from Jeep Factory Service Manuals (FSMs) and can be met or exceeded easily. Just don't fail to meet them...

A note on fluid capacities - I don't have FSM's covering all model years just yet. However, it can be assumed that like systems in different model years are similar, and these capacities can therefore be used as guidelines for vehicles not listed.

NOTICE! - NOTICE! - NOTICE!
The Factory Service Manual and the Owner's Manual for vehicles equipped with Aisin manual transmissions (AX-4, AX-5, AX-15) lists the use of GL-5 gear oil for the transmission. This is an error! GL-5 is designed for newer transmissions, as uses added sulphur to enhance EP (Extreme Pressure) lubricating properties. However, sulphur in solution (like in oil) is antagonistic to copper-based alloys (like bronze, as Aisin uses in the synchroniser rings) and the use of GL-5 can literally dissolve your synchroniser rings! This won't make your vehicle un-driveable, but it will make it difficult to shift gears.
GL-3 gear oil contains no added sulphur, and GL-4 contains traces of sulphur (naturally present in the oil. It is removed in GL-3.) GL-3 is the preferred lubricant, but GL-4 may be used for the short term. Most parts houses should carry GL-3 as well as GL-5 gear oil, so be sure to read the label (unlike the SAE ratings on engine oil, API "GL" ratings are not "backwards compatible.")
