CVT fluid drain and fill (with temp-monitored fill process) on our ‘17 Subaru 2.5, 5.5qts Subaru CVTF-II
Rear diff oil change, Amsoil Severe Gear 75W-90. At 33k miles, couldn’t believe how bad the diff oil looked.
 
2015 gx460 77k miles on original fluid - Got a check engine light for a stuck solenoid so I did 2 drain and fills. Toyota WS came out as black as old engine oil. Never seen fluid come out that dark before.

Maxlife and a bottle of lubegard red went in. Cleared the check engine light and all has been good for 2 weeks now.

It was so dark I am going to do a full flush with the cooler line and add in a magnfine filter in a few weeks.

2017 Kia Rio 1.6L
Miles @ change: 100,590
Out: 4.75L mixed ATF
Miles on oil: 100,590 - 74,320 = 26,270
In: 4 quarts Valvoline Maxlife Multi-Vehicle ATF + roughly 0.6qt of drained mix.

The ATF that drained out was red, didn't smell burnt, and otherwise seemed brand new. I debated putting all of it back in and waiting until a later date, but ATF is pretty inexpensive. I wasn't expecting so much to drain out; normally only 4 quarts drain out. Only had a gallon of fresh ATF on hand, so the remainder put in was a small portion of the drain-out. The magnet on the plug had a very, very small amount of shavings on it.
 
2010 Toyota Venza V6 AWD. Aisin 760 transmission.

Sucked out 6qts of a mix of service pro that had 70,000 miles in the tranny. I pulled 4 qts a few months ago and added 4qts of valvoline Max life.
Put 6qts of Max Life back in with some Barr’s transmission in as well.

2011 Chevy Suburban 2500, 157,000 miles on the clock.
 
2011 Toyota 4Runner Trail, 114,000 miles Aisin A750F transmission. Exchanged 12 quarts of fluid of WS for Valvoline MaxLife by drain and fill and then by pumping out 2 quarts at a time, topping off, repeat until 12 quarts changed. Finish by setting fluid level at a specified fluid temperature. No issues arose, and the transmission shifts better. Next service will occur at 180,000 miles
 
2011 Camry, drained 2 qts and poured in 2qts of Valvoline Maxlife. That's the old fluid.

2012 Ram Cummins 2500 w/ 68RFE, 96,541 miles.

Out: Valvoline ATF+4 & unknown filters
In: Valvoline ATF+4 (9-1/2 quarts) w/ Mopar filters (truck has an AFE deep sump pan)

I also installed a metal spin on filter adapter in the transmission.
 
Did my annual pull of four quarts (max) of tranny fluid and replaced with AC Delco Dexron VI. Lordco sells it at at a price of about $5 US equivalent a quart. I used my shop vac powered Flo N Go system with a 3/8 “ plastic tube down the fill tube. Took about 30 minutes. I’ve been doing this for about 3 years. 210,000 miles on my 6L90. That’s the old fluid in the cup, but it looks a bright red when a small sample is examined.
