    V-6 engine - 5 qts with new filter
    3 speed trans - 2 1/2 pts
    4 speed trans - 6 3/4 pts
    transfer case - 3 1/4 pts
    front & rear diff - 2 1/2 pts each
    That being said fill the drive train components (not the engine) until oil runs out of the fill hole. Fill the transfer case before the transmission.

    I would get an extra quart or 2 of everything, since old jeeps do leak once in a while.
