Hey all, as soon as its warm enough I will be helping a friend change the ATF in a car that he just picked up, a 1995 Cavalier Z24 with the 4T40-E transmission. I have a few questions; how hard is it to do a pan drop on this transmission, how many quarts will we need for just a pan drop, and what fluid brand works best in this application? I'm partial to Castrol Transmax but he is open to anything. Thanks!
A few transmission fluid change questions

The Amsoil websiter lists capacities. What is the maint. history for the transmission? You may need to do more than one drain & fill.
i like the max life dexron 3 for that transmission
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Transmax. If you like it, go for it!
Other suggestions are Maxlife, and Mag 1 Synthetic ATF. Amazon has a case of Mag 1 for under $25, and it is probably the cheapest GM-approved Dexron VI you'll find anywhere, local or online. Part #64092
But really, they're not picky at all.
Look for an aftermarket transmission pan that has a drain plug, so that future ATF changes won't be so bad.
