Torqshift dipstick question

When the transmission is warmed up and the fluid is just below the very bottom of the HOT hash mark range, how much ATF do I need to bring it up to the center of the HOT range? I lost some fluid due to a fitting leak at the external filter.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I'll try adding half a quart and see how that does.

Followup on this. Added a half a quart and it brought the level to dead center of the HOT zone. Thanks again!
