| Usually this is specked by the tranny mfg. The reason ithere is no STD RULE , is the heat generated by each style of tranny is very different. WE have a DD 6-71 hooked to a Twin Disc , that is ALL mechanical, so no cooler and only 5 quarts of oil in the tranny total. Compare this to a hydraulic nightmare that needs 20 quarts of ATF and a good sized cooler. Only the mfg knows the heat generated by each setup. Overcooling or undercooling are both bad. Sorry, FAST FRED |
