2002 Subaru WRX Wagon 4-speed auto @ 150,874 miles
I did a drain and fill (about 4 quarts) with Maxlife ATF.
The fluid came out dark red (but not black). I had done a drain and fill at about 125,000 miles with a new spin-on filter (I wish more transmissions had this!)
At around 90k miles it had a complete flush.
I will have about 500-1,000 miles put on the car, then I will do another drain and fill with a new filter.
I took a sample to send to Blackstone for a UOA

2006 GM Express 3500 van 4.8L Dropped and cleaned the pan, cleaned the magnet and replaced filter. This was the filthiest pan and fluid I have ever seen. Added Supertech ATF. This is the first pan drop I have ever done where no fluid came out when removing the pan. Level indicator calls for DEXIII and showing overfilled after only 6L. Wrong indicator installed? Shifting ok...so far.
Dropped pan and changed filter. 5.5 quarts of Castrol Dex 6

2005 Sienna 160k miles, unknown miles on ATF.
Extracted 4 quarts with Pella extractor, then poured in 4 new quarts. Ran van with hose from return line to bucket to eject 3 quarts at a time and refill pan, until I ran 12 quarts through the system. (12 out, 12 in)
I used Mystik Syn Blend ATF from Farm and Fleet, $4.29/qt.

Ford Motorcraft in my 2004 F-150.
'94 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2L (318 CID) Limited 4WD transfer case. RedLine D4 - it's what I had, used all the other ATF in my S10 that eats trans fluid. Was concerned about leakage, seemed to be ok ~1.5qt out ~1.5 qt in. SeaSense pump made it a breeze.
97 Malibu 2.4L - Approx. 6.5L of Formula Shell ATF
Did a drain/fill on the '03 Corolla yesterday.
-3.25qts Amsoil ATF.
Car is at 115K miles, still has original filter. Although I've heard this filter is more of a mesh material. Plan on 2 more drain/fills with Amsoil and dropping the pan/changing the filter on the last drain/fill.

Original transmission !!
Previous fill: Honda Z1 (van was at dealer for a brake recall, so I let them do the transmission drop/fill while they had it)
New fill: Maxlife ATF; 3 drop/fills over a few week period; added 1 can of lubeguard red on last fill.
After ~20kmi on the Z1 fill, tranny began getting the well documented shudder in the 30-40mph ballpark under very light throttle. After first drop/fill with maxlife, there was a ~90% reduction in shudder episodes. By the time I did the 3rd drop/fill and added the lubeguard red, I am guessing 98% cure of the shudder. When/if the van needs to go back to dealer for another issue, I will inquire about getting the re-flash that moves shift points up by 200rpm or so to supposedly eliminate the shudders.

Did a line off on a Subaru 4 EAT with Amsoil ATF and OEM filter/screen.
I ran 10 qts (a 2.5 gallon jug) though it. Tranny had no issues but a positive difference is noticeable.

Did the 2nd of 3 drain/fills on the Corolla with Amsoil ATF. Will do the 3rd next weekend. Trans is shifting very well.
Same thing here. Did the 2nd of 3 drain/fills on a 2005 Kia Sedona van with about 150,000 miles. 4 1/2 quarts dropped at a time. Plan on doing 3rd and last next weekend. Super easy job...first time fluid was ever changed in the vehicle. Using Eneos ATF Type SP @ $4.29/qt. from NAPA.
