2017 Porsche Macan PDK fluid
Out: OEM fill - 5 liters
In: Pentosin FFL 4 - 5 liters

The shifting between gears during driving is much more smoother and the subtle shift jerking is pretty much gone. As for driving in general, I did notice a slight improvement in acceleration. Its really hard to gauge MPG improvements but overall the car feels better. The original ATF had over 124K miles and was very dark purple red in color. The magnets kinda speak for themselves for how much crud was in it, so I added some strong N42SH bars to increase magnetic filtering capacity of the pan which should be good for another 100+k miles.

I went with HPL because the dealership wanted over 80 dollars for 4 quarts of Toyota ATF-WS at the parts counter. I'm still on the first spill and fill since the pan drop its been a few hundred miles so far and should be doing another drain and fill to get rid of the remaining old fluid that's diluted with the HPL ATF Green.

Using Redline Nonslip CVT Fluid in my Accord and its high Cst is the best its been. Boutique fluids just do a better job. Nice write up!

2018 Cruze, 6 speed auto
78500 miles
Out: just shy of 5qt factory fill
In: pennzoil platinum lv

Going to run it a little bit and do another drain and fill, as it looked like motor oil draining out. Very black.

I've done three drain and fills, each 3k miles apart, first at 112k and last at 118k, and each time the fluid is always dark when contained. But using a tissue I was able to see that my most recent drain and fill was much lighter and with a slight pink hue compared to the brown of the fluid in my first drain. I'll have to do it again and post the picture.

But I am surprised how the dark the stream of fluid draining out actually is. That looks like motor oil out of a diesel. Lol

If you don't mind, what does the dealer charge? Asking for a friend...

It was 260 total . Last time it was done around 25-26 k I think the invoice said they did 2 drain and fills . This time the invoice read transmission flush plus DW-1 quantity 4 . I did not read it until later and figure it was a different type of service with the flush . Not a huge issue for me .

I think a quantity of 4 quarts could be a spill and fill. A flush should be 6 quarts, at the minimum, could be 10.
But good on you for taking care of your CR-V.

I do a drain and fill on my Civic about every 10,000 miles and it's nice and reddish looking. It only takes about 3 quarts and I use my MityVac on it.

2011 BMW 328i xDrive, manual:
Out: Redline D4
In: Motul Multi ATF:

Garden spray bottle is savior!

BMW recommends ATF. Went last time with Redline D4, which worked great, numerous track days.
This would be 45,000 miles interval. Heard good stuff about Motul Multi ATF among some BMW owners and Honda Type R. So, let;s try.

2007 Volvo V70 @ 144,230 mi.
Drain 3qt. 20 oz.
Fill 3qt. 16 oz. Aisin Type IV ATF + 4 oz. LubeGard (red bottle)

HISTORY:
The OO had a BG flush done at the dealership @ 42K
I did my 1st D&F when I got the vehicle...............@ 70K
2nd @ 71K
3rd @ 76K
4th @ 79K
5th @ 90K
6th @ 102K
7th @ 108K
8th @ 144K

I wanted to get the fluid clean 1+2. I believe my V70 was locally driven in hot Washington, D.C. in its prior life.
D&F's 3-7 was to keep it clean. Perhaps I was chasing perfection.
I went 36K before doing D&F #8 (today's) but was still pleasantly surprised at the reasonable cleanliness of the fluid.
I don't know If I'll own this car long enough to do #9 but I have the fluid in stock.
I'd probably shoot for 175K.

At first glance this seems excessive. That being said my former 2001 V70XC burned up two transmissions over the course of 278k miles. I never paid any attention to the transmission. Lesson learned.

2014 GMC Sierra 4.3l 2wd fleet truck- 90k miles- 6l80 transmission. 3 quart Valvoline Maxlife "drain & fill" With a West Marine fluid extractor. First transmission service I am aware of for this vehicle. Will repeat after driving 100+ miles.

After 3 Maxlife drain & fills - 10 quarts total, the fluid is cherry red & she shifts smoothly.

Did a drain and fill on the Cayenne's 8 speed Aisin @81k mi.

Out: slightly less than 1gal Havoline/Redline D6
In: 1gal Redline D6

Cooler line flush of factory fill 23k mi ago with Havoline multi full synthetic 10qts and Redline D6 4qts. Fluid was dark red this time, has been shifting great.

Will do leveling procedure starting with a cold transmission this morning.

2016 Honda Accord with 2.4 liter I4 and CVT.

Out: ? 2-1/2 quarts via topside extraction. Light red color and translucent.
In: 2-1/2 quarts Idemitsu Type H2.

It's supposed to take 3.9 quarts but only 2-1/2 came out topside. Maybe I'll do it again in warmer weather to freshen it up.

Toyota U760E with 150K miles.

Out: Castrol Transmax Multi-vehicle ATF
In: Valvoline Max Life

I dropped the pan, cleaned the magnets, changed the filter and used the cooler line flush process to change (nearly) all the fluid.

Are you going in through the fill hole or the check hole?
