Not knowing when last the transmission fluid/filter was changed, and based upon what I've been reading, I can expect to drop from 3.5 to 7 liters of fluid. I'll purchase two 5 quart jugs of Pentosin. The question(s):

When should I replace the filter?

1. Should I drain... install filter... fill... drive... drain... fill?

2. Drain... fill... drive... drain... install filter... fill?

The two "drains" are because I'll have 10 quarts... the first drain lets say 5 quarts... likewise the second drain and fill. I'm not looking to completely flush the system five times instead introducing new fluid in a couple efforts.

I'd like the new filter to have the "cleanest" fluid running through it... so I'm thinking the second scenario. Maybe I'm overthinking this?

Thank you.
