im in the process of changing ATF, now approx. 2 1/2 to 3 qrts came out... but i cant tell exactly kuz i didnt measure.... so how much should i put in.. and y do i feel like 2 1/2 to 3 quarts is to little....


thanx in advance

 

Only 3 will come out. the rest is trapped in the trans. Thats why we say to drain, fill drive x3 to get as much new fluid in the trans as possible. Put in whats necessary. Put in 2.5 qts and check the level, if it needs more simply add more. (3 should have come out)

 

i was planning on doing this eventualy, is there a place i should take the old fluid?

 

call around.....there has to be a mechanic in your area with a vacuum

 

Most parts stores and quickie oil change shops are required by law to take used oil at no charge. Limits may apply
The parts place will only take MOTOR oil
the quick change MAY take trans fluid- call and ask- they have to pay to have the stuff taken off their hands so it had to be law to make it happen

Alos check for local county run hazmat recycler place. My town has one near the airport that takes ALL fluids- coolant trans,engine, pool chemicals- unknowns etc, all FREE

Your garbage/refuse pickup company should know too- give them a call

 

so how many quarts for the whole fill-n-flush method? 3 qts x 3 fill-n-flush + 3 qts final fill = 12 qts?

just got tran cooler

 

Drain fill is whats recommended.

 

i didn't know thats whats recommended.....don't dealers use a vacuum for this, and i remember calling about a trans fluid change and they said 120 and it included an acid wash......

 

Acid wash somehow i ont think acid + our trans is a good combo
