I am preparing to siphon out the fluid from my main reservoir and change it. Can anyone tell me about how much atf I will need? I think I use the Dex/Merk combo stuff that it available these days.

Thanks everyone. Hey, this is gonna be expensive at $10/gal, but will beat sticking my arm a foot and a half deep in ATF to just change the filters!

Rich,

A lot of folks use a coat hanger to grab the filters and pull them out. Usually all 3 will stick together and come out as a chunk. If you choose to do it this way, you do not need to drain the oil.

Why didn't I think of that? This time I have to change the fluid anyway.
