quick transmission dipstick question

Sorry, typed wrong fluid. I meant power steering fluid dipstick.
My question is how many ounces of fluid equals one mark on the dipstick to the net mark. In case it's low I'll know how much to put back in.
Thanks so much.
Kathy

The PS reservoir holds about a cup of fluid which should bring it to mid reading on the dipstick. I'd start with a quarter cup and see where that puts the level, then add incrementally to the desired level.
