Transmission oil change

.... Just remember to account for this amount during the flush. If the capacity is 12 quarts then flush 12 plus the amount of the cheaper fluid added regardless if it is clean already. ...*

Negative. It's still just 12 quarts to flush with the "good stuff" ATF.

If the capacity is 12 quarts, then after a drain and fill with 3 quarts of "the cheap stuff" the trans will have ... 12 quarts of fluid. You will only need to flush using 12 quarts of the good stuff. During the flush hat last 3 quarts (from quart 9 to quart 12) will run clean, that's probably what you're thinking of. You've already "accounted for this amount" by doing a drain and fill.

If going to Wal-Mart for cheap ATF, another option is their house brand SuperTech, as mentioned above.

Yikes, thanks! I forgot I purchased 2 gallons . We just dumped both in and after it was all said and done we were one quart extra when it reached operating temperature so had to draw that out . The T6 has no drain plug so we drew the fluid from the pan and drop it to change the filter.

$95 for pump extractor. Better spent on ATF as pulling a tranny cooler hose and attaching a clear hose into a container marked with quarts. Run engine, shut off after two quarts. Pour equal amount into dipstick. Repeat until nice red runs thru the hose.

Oil changes, brake bleeds, master cylinder, rear diff. and any place that you can't reach that requires liquid removal not just for cars.
