Quick question, and flame suit on ...
Would it be wise to execute and ATF maintenance in two phases?
Phase 1: Drain and refill with the same ATF quantity, keep original pan in place.
Phase 2: Come back 1-2 weeks later. Replace pan/embedded filter. Do proper refill procedure, including reaching recommended operating temp to adjust ATF level acurately.
For phase 1, I have some left over Dexron-6 ATF fluid left at home.
For phase 2, I would use better quality such as Redline D6 ATF (as per recommendation in RL application guide). Lots of folks swear by authentic ZF or Ravenol ATF at $25/liter ...
