Our GS350 F Sport is nearing 70K; I have been putting off servicing the transmission.
You probably know that a drain only removes about 2.5 quarts; the transmission holds 10 or more I believe...
My plan is to:
Lift and level the car
Drain and measure the fluid
Replace the same plus a little
Run the engine for perhaps 15 to 30 seconds
Repeat the spill and fill process perhaps 3 times
Run engine up to 105* (or whatever spec is)
Open plug to allow straw to set level.
My goal is to drain the pan of new fluid but avoid mixing with old as much as possible.
Question: How long would it take for the transmission pump to empty the pan?
I am guessing 15 to 30 seconds.
Does 3 iterations sound about right?
Of course I will check fluid color each time.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
If I change the filter, I will use a factory part.
