Im about to do a 3rd trans drain and fill on my 16 Mazda CX-5.
I always do 3 drain and fills since you can’t get all the fluid out with just 1.
Question: I know the pump in the trans circulates the fluid…. Is it sufficient to just drain, refill, start the vehicle and cycle the gears, and repeat? Or does it actually need to be driven to circulate more fluid through the trans?!? It would be a lot easier to do just keep it on the ramps and cycle through the gears!
Thanks for any input!
