From the manufacturer's workshop / owner documentation for this generation. Gen-wide figures — some values can vary by trim or model year. Fill quantities differ by procedure: a transmission or axle “service” drain-and-fill is often far less than the dry capacity — always confirm the exact fill method in the manual before filling.
