Drop pan and do filter--fill new.....unhook line down at transmission that gets the oil from radiator and let this fill into bottle......fill the same amount from engine bay....I'm assuming that the good oil in pan gets sucked up thru the transmission then out to the radiator........seems like a low cost and good way to know that all transmission fluid was changed.

great way to fry the rear planetary gears in the transmission also! no,no,no,never attempt this with the q transmission.better to drop pan,replace filter and refill-run 2 min,drain-refill run 2 min,repeat 5-6 times until you have used 14-16 quarts of new mobil 1 fluid.
