My cars have AW70 transmissions. Maybe a different slightly procedure from what the FAQ gives for yours? I didn't look.

Anyway, for mine I change 2 qt (2 litres) every time, through the fluid cooling tube at radiator. I need to do this at least 8 times to really change all the fluid. 9 times would be better but I'm too cheap for that. The fluid looks pretty nice after about 6 times but you want to get out as much old stuff as you can.

I did some pretty good calculations. Assuming the process mixes all fluids equally inside the transmission, my cars would have 91% new fluid after 8 x 2 qt. changes. I'm sure someone can do a better calculation, or can explain some reason why mine is incorrect. However I never saw any other calc. for this before, so I'm going with what I can do.
