How much fluid does a transmission drain take?
2-I recently passed 50,000. Since I do alot of severe driving (stop and go LA traffic) I decided to drain the transmission. Note ….this is a PARTIAL drain… as more fluid remains in the trans cooler, lines, torque converter. drive for a few hundred miles to circulate the fluid and repeat. Manual says 5.3 qts of fluid on a drain.

These transmissions run fairly hot, even with the tow package, they easily get up over 210*F in heavy traffic. Most pickup trucks run around 150 to 170*F, so 200-210*F+ seems pretty high to me. That being said, I did not do a UOA, so maybe my fluid was okay.
