I do plan to drain the fluid and pull the sump. Most of the comments said said 6.5 liters was all they could get back in.

How much fluid do you think I need on hand?

I'm wondering why you don't drain the whole trans as long as you've drained the sump and replace all the fluid as per Dempsey.

Were does it say in that DIY link about replacing all the fluid? I'm not seeing it.

turboflyer "Comments: I have done the fluid change, filter also at 60K now setting at 91K. What I want to do is totally pump out the old fluid. I think the math is a bit off on just doing it twice. That won't get her done as they say. you will be changing a 55/50 mix and still have old fluid. Would be more like 4 or 5 times but you know what I mean. So is there a way to purge it all?
I though of maybe a making an adaptor to go inlace of the filter and and then connecting it to a source of 10L of ATF. Not sure if I would damage something or not.
Also considered the trans cooler lines but I don't think it carries all the ATF. Most likely a bypass cooler, not sure.
Some one said Mobile One ATF was fine. I spoke to Mobil tech and they said they did not have a fluid that fit the requirements.
Has any one done a complete fluid change? If so what worked? Thanks in advance.

Followup from the Pelican Staff: The best way to purge it all is to use a transmission flush machine. The machine will hook up to the cooler hoses and pump in new fluid as the oil fluid is pumped out. "

I asked about where is was in the article. I didn't read all the comments.

So do you have a transmission flush machine? I don't have one.

You're in Kansas, I'm in CA so it wouldn't matter. I would think you could find one at a rental co.
