    Yeah.
    Between 3 and 4 quarts. Measure what comes out, but I would put a little more back in and do the proper check since it might have been low to begin with.

    If you think about it, the tranny has more moving parts then the engine, i just hit 30k and will probably do a drain and fill now along with the diff fluids and transfer case to be safe, I also change the oil every 5k so... I enjoy the overkill but my wallet doesnt.

    Just did the drain and fill today. I only had about 2/2.25ish qts come out. I put 2.25 back in got it to temp and it was low, added about 1/2qt more and had to let it drain for a bit after that. Does this seem like a low amount to have drained?

    Also my fluid was pretty dark, didn't smell burn but I was surprised at how dark it was for 37k. I had bought 5qts of WS ATF, since I only used 2.5 I'm thinking of doing it again in a week or so

    I was using the Torque Pro app and had to write a custom PID based on some info I found online. As long as the formula was actually accurate I did the check at temp (115*F). After taking it for a spin around town the pan temp seemed to float around 150*F which seems like the right range
