You should be super happy that you have made it that far! I would introduce 3 quarts at a time of a period of time. Each oil change would be good. Have you not changed fluids at all during this 160K period? Pressure switch replacement may help that time lag as well.

What yr is your car? Also have you serviced your trans at all? As pomljm recommended, I would swap out your 3rd and 4th pressure switches and trans filter. I would start off by just doing 1 x 3 first and wait till your next oil change to do a second drain and fill.
