Tiptronic fluid capacity - how much?

[beachdrifter]

Hi 996 friends,

Excuse the question, but I am confused as to specs saying fluid capacity is 10 liters or so but only 4 during fluid change. What does this mean? does it mean when it gets drained 10 liters come out or only 4?

Thanks for the clarification!

I have a 996, 1999 cabriolet, 2wd.

By far, most of the Tip's fluid is in the torque converter, which you cannot drain by draining the pan.  At most, you will get out 4-5 L from the pan.  This is one of several reasons we recommend changing the fluid in the Tip more frequently.
