4 quarts but you only need about 3.2 3.3. I use 5w30 weight dino oil...works fine in california. The 10w30 the engine dosen't rev as freely.

Thanks for your reply, I think you misunderstand my question, b/c I'm asking about Transmission oil NOT engine oil.

Someone please let me know what gear oil works the better on GSR tranny. THANKS

DO NOT USE MOTOR OIL IN YOUR TRANNY. Use OEM honda mtf or some people use redline mtL. A gsr tranny takes 2.3 qts.
