• Capacity varies slightly by engine and service procedures, but the 4.0L twin-turbo V8 typically requires around 9.5–10.5 liters (roughly 10–11 US quarts).
• Exact fill volume should be confirmed by the service technician and the owner’s manual; we always perform a final level check after the vehicle is warmed and on a level surface.
