No....
1.6 qt for fluid change
1.8 qt for overhaul

So if you arent taking the tranny apart and just changing the oil it's 1.6

Truth. Do not trust that other guy. Buy 2 quarts and fill it until it overflows.

Why not fill it until it overflows? When parked on level ground the fill bolt hole is at the right height so that the fluid should be level with it when the transmission has the right amount in it.
