Small Block Chevy - 5 quarts every time, no guessing.
Part of the no dipstick in Automatic transmissions is due to contamination concerns. The dipstick/tube interface will allow dirt in no matter how many o-rings you put on the plastic handle. Most people don't change their ATF that often. Most people don't at all. Not having a dipstick probably makes fiscal sense for the mfg. as far as warranty work is concerned. It sucks for those of us who do change their ATF on a regular basis.
Not having one on the engine is a stupid idea. Made even more stupid by putting in an electronic sensor that won't read until the oil warms up. Hope your oil's not real low when you go to warm it back up.
Just make sure you put in close to the right amount before you start up.
