BUT, I checked it after driving for like 15-20min, and it was over X's, like past the top X, is this ok?

Also I'm a little confused...I read this guys how-to on drain/fill and its a little different:

(It's a few posts down) But I didn't go through all the gears like he does, and I didn't go 20mph in reverse (thats crazy) I didnt even go in reverse at all except for back out of the driveway. I'm kinda concerned that I didnt circulate the fluid enough to get the old stuff out, maybe I just kept drain/filling BRAND NEW fluid.

And he says to do it 4 Times, should I do it another time? I only did it 3 times...Car seems to be shifting harsh...

Do you guys think I got most of the BAD NON HONDA fluid out? Or should I do it again in a few weeks? Or now?

Up and down to jacks that many times would get old. I still like the filler machine. It puts new fluid in the cool side and takes old out of the warm side. Can be done in about 20 minutes from lift to touchdown.
