post your latest transmission lubricant change.

Did a pan drop and filter change on my 2016 Toyota Avalon.
Out: Toyota WS — had 50,000 miles on it and it was black as night
In: Toyota WS
Filter was stock, replaced it with aftermarket.
 
I did thr bulk of it a week ago but finally got enough time to put some miles on it, get ut up to temp, verify I was over full and then drain some.

2017 Ram 3500 with the AS69RC. Pand drop and filter change. Out was a mix of the factory fill Mobil 3309 and 7 litres of Petrocan Duradrive, which was changed at 48,000km.

In went 10 litres of Maxlife LV. It was a Btch of a time setting the level (not sure why) and today I removed a solid 1.5 litres and it is perfectly sitting within the hot crosshatch when 66c.

I am also using the ATP B463 filter, which was 50 bucks on Amazon as opposed 130 or so for the Denso made factory filter.

160km test drive and she runs like a top

Today, at 45,594 miles: Dexron VI drain and fill on the '16 Buick LaCrosse with the 3.6L engine. Maintenance schedule from GM says every 45K miles. Since I bought the car used 16 months ago, I have no idea if the previous owner did the fluid change early, so better to be careful. Going forward, the way I drive here, I will probably do it every 27K miles/3 years.

Out: Factory fill, as far as I know. Good ol' "Lifetime fluid"
In: Lexus filter screen and Idemitsu WS equivalent

I will do another spill and fill in a thousand miles and call it done for 25K miles or so.
 
2017 4runner, 60k.
Drained 3.5 quarts of brownish looking WS ATF.
Poured in 3.5 quarts of fresh looking Toyota WS fluid.
 
2018 Nissan Rogue CVT service with 25K on the vehicle.
Drain and refill with 2 qts. of Nissan NS-3 and slightly less than 2 qts. of Valvoline CVT fluid.
Used my ScanGuage to monitor the CVT temperature while adjusting the fluid level.
Much easier and cleaner than changing the oil and filter.

How many miles did you have the old fluid in use? It still looks ok. I'm trying to decide how long to wait before doing a drain and fill on my car.
Since I installed my tranny pan with the drain plug
I’ve done two drain and fill
Used Pennzoil LV
Short drains to get out as much old fluid as I can
Truck has 51K miles now
Now I’m doing the same with Redline to change out to totally Redline

I've done two drain and refills with Valvoline Maxlife ATF chasing down a delayed/non engagement of drive. I bought this car new, went to my brother at around 70k or so, now it has 176k. It went to the dealer, they wanted to put in a new transmission. No codes being thrown.

Just did another drain, dropped the pain and put in a new wix filter. Original filter was still in, not sure if a transmission service was ever done on this car when my brother had it. I've been driving it, have put almost 1500 miles on it, it works for the most part. Has not gone into drive a couple times but will eventually catch with a slight rev or waiting a bit.

So long story short three drain and refills, new filter. Drives fine for the most part with the occasional glitch. Have done some research and may be accumulator piston wear.
