Steve,

All of these amounts can & will vary:

Series 60 = 8 gallons oil + ??? for the filters (mine has 2 oil filters) check it after the 7th gallon. It is easier to add a little more than have to remove it.

Coolant series 60 = 12 gallons mixed 50/50 water/PowerCool antifreeze

Allison 4060 transmission: here's a lu-lu! Originally when I changed my tranny oil in 2006 it took 37 quarts of Mobil TransSyn. I changed it in Jan. 2010 and it took 32 quarts of the same oil! It was changed both times by a Detroit/Allison dealer. Go figure!

Hydraulic oil: Just use the sight glass. I don't think that hydraulic oil needs to be changed. It is just transmission fluid.

Hope this helps, and welcome to the forum.
