if you just drain the sump and refill its 4.5litres. Thats actually only about a third of total capacity as most of it stays in the torque converter and cooler etc, but its good enough and its easy. do this a couple of times a year and it soon dilutes to good quality
If most of the oil remains in the torque converter and cooler when the sump is drained then as you say, approx two thirds is still old oil. (dry fill capacity is a little over 10 litres). Would occasional symptoms similar to a slipping clutch when pulling away from standstill suggest the oil is shot?
I have no idea when the ATF was last changed.
Is several drain and refills the only way to flush out the oil in the torque converter?
you can do a complete atf change in one go but you will need 2 buckets and probably more than 10l of atf to do it properly
Since the oil is in the system, if i drained the oil that i could, would there be a way of circulating the remaining oil without driving around? to try and get it to fall to the sump to drain it out?
