Default AFT Capacity

I'm changing the ATF & in pan filter in my 04 Cavalier with Mobil 1 LV ATF HP. Does anyone know how many quarts I should have "on hand" ? I have 6 qts. but just wondering if that's enough to come out the overflow check. Thanks

Yes I checked the owners manual, it read 9qts for a total trans rebuild. I believe/guess my last ATF & filter change was around 7qt. ..

I would have a couple more quarts on hand, and then just return whatever you don't use.
