post your latest transmission lubricant change.

On my 2010 F150 I dropped the pan, replaced it with one from Performance Automatic which has a drain plug, an extra three quarts capacity, and it comes with a dip stick. Put in 6.5 quarts of Mercon LV.

On the new to me 1998 Jeep Wrangler with 120k on the clock, drained the old oil and put in Redline MT90. Transfer case got some new ATF+4 and changed the PS fluid differential fluids

In: 6qts AAP DexIII/M (made by WPP), AC Delco spin-on filter
 
2011 Prius. 59k.

Out: Toyota ATF-WS, 28k miles
In: Toyota ATF-WS.

This "transaxle" takes just under 4 qt for a complete fluid service.
 
2004 Explorer flushed by dealer at 30,000 and 60,000. Transmission died at 68,000. Rebuilt by local trans shop and filled with after market fluid. Flushed by another trans shop at 92,000, filled with Amsoil and shifts smoother then before.
 
2007 Honda Odyssey Touring w/80,000 miles. Did a 3X Drain and fill with a drive cycle in between. Used only Honda ATF DW-1 (3 Quarts per change).Bought the car as Certified Used Honda, but could not tell if any ATF change had ever been done. 1st change was very dark but was nice and clear by number 3
 
jeep liberty with the 42rle

still under warranty with no drain plug or dipstick.
suctioned out 3 quarts and replaced with atf+4. i then used a homemade dipstick to check the fluid after i replaced 3 quarts. mike

Transmission pan drain and fill in the Kia Optima.

Out: 4.5qts Kia SpIII
In: 4.5 qts of Valvoline Import Multi-Vehicle in

So far, there has been no difference in the way it shifts, which is a good thing. The transmission has been shifting perfectly, and I didn't want anything to change that. So far, so good.
 
2009 Ford Fusion 3.0L V6
29,500 miles
Drained 7k mile Castrol Import Multi-Vehicle and installed the correct Mobil ATF 3309. Did 4 drains, 3 quarts each. The transmission operates much better than it did on the Castrol.

OUT: 4 qts from 2006 Honda Ody AT with 90%+ Amsoil ATF. 120K on fluid since starting the the drain and fills at 5000 miles, about every other oil change or in between, but last drain and fill was over a year ago. Fuild was nearly as clear deep red as it went in. Interestingly Amsoil ATF does not stink as bad used as it does new. (I find this odd)
IN: 4 qts of Amsoil ATF (by now there is just a little original ATF in there)
 
1997 MB E320. Almost 231,000 miles. Drain 3.5L from pan and 3.5L from torque converter, change filter. Refill with 7L of Redline D4. No change in shifting, still smooth as brand new.
 
2001 Honda Civic LX automatic, drain and fill plus added Hayden stacked plate transmission cooler (similar to B&M) and Magnefine inline filter.

Out: 4 quarts of dark red unknown fluid that was in there when I bought the car used with a rebuilt transmission last May and a bottle of Lubegard Red.

In: 3 quarts of Valvoline MaxLife and one quart of Mobil 1 ATF.

I couldn't be happier! Shifts are much more positive but not at all harsh, and I can feel the torque converter locking up like it should.
