No no no! When simply drained and refilled the CVT will "take" 4-5 qts. It's best to then run for a minute or two and then recheck, as it may take another quart. Total capacity can NOT be simply drained by gravity. Anyway, you can't "pump" 10qts into it from the side hole at low pressure, as it'll just keep spilling out....
