This CVT for the spark has the capacity of 6.2 quarts. BUT if you do drain and fill you will not drain the torque converter and the fill will be about 4.5 quarts.

Surely there can't be many differences between vehicles one model year apart, right? The 2013 manual is located at: http://www.helminc.com/helm/product2.asp?Make=CHV&Model=SPAR&Year=2013 The 2014 manual is loc
