Changing tranny oil

I'll be changing my tranny oil and filter and wandering the best way to get most of the oil out. I have purchased 16 litres of atf +3 wich is what it calls for in the manual.

Pretty straight forward. Let it drip for a long time. I think you'll have plenty of fluid.

there is no drain plug on the converter. in order to get all the fluid out, you would have to disconnect line to the cooler. with the line off, you can start it in N and pump the fluid out into a pail.

you have to watch for air, then shut it off.

some people put a drain plug in the pan. drain the fluid, start it, drain fluid....

the tranny shops use a flush machine with the engine running they suck in new fluid on one side and watch the old stuff until it clears out on the other.

have fun!
