2023 RAV4 Hybrid. 40k miles. Front and rear transaxle with AISIN WS fluid. Won't need to do again for another 3 years.
2011 Honda Fit, 169K, 4,500 mile OCI
Out: almost 3 qts DW-1 and who knows?
In: almost 3 qts MaxLife
No debris on the drain plug. I used DW-1 last time. Pulls strong with that tiny engine.

How clean was the fluid at 40K miles? I did the Sienna Hybrid at 72K miles and was pleasantly surprised how good it looked.
I'm thankful the V6's have them at least.
2013 Mazda 6. Did a simple suck/fill from the awkward trans dipstick hole. Out came Amsoil Sig ATF and in went the same. The quantity is much less than a drain at just less than 1.5 quarts. This is a basic refresher on a car that doesn't drive as much and has had years of Amsoil. Some time soon, I will have the local shop do a proper drain/fill.
Also did a simple suck/fill of the power steering.

Just did three drain and fills on a 2018 Ford Edge Titanium 3.5L V6 with Pennzoil Multi-Vehicle LV Transmission Fluid. I have been using the Pennzoil more and more lately over Maxlife because it's officially approved by Ford and GMC for Mercon LV and Dexron VI applications and its only $6 a quart at Menards or Home Depot.
The Edge had 95,000 miles on it and the transmission fluid had never been changed. The fluid was in surprisingly decent shape, the fluid was definitely dirty and needing to be changed, but not black or burned.

New to my wife and I 2009 Scion xb. 181k miles. We got it cheap and paid cash knowing it needed some love
The old fluid was black, it almost has a purple hue to it
Out: probably factory fluid and filter
In: VRP atf and a wix filter. Lubegard platinum additive
Yes more spill and fills are on the way as this transmission takes 9 quarts and I filled it with a gallon and the additive.
It shifts so much better now

Noooooo you’re going to blow up your high mileage transmission by changing the fluid!
2012 Nissan Armada - 192,458 miles. My first change since purchasing in May. Per the carfax it looks like the fluid was last changed 32k miles ago.
Out: 7 quarts Unknown ATF
In: 7 quarts Amsoil Signature Series ATF.
I was surprised to get 7 quarts out on one drain and fill.
