6lt fluid in auto trans?

[benji]

I've just finished changing the fluid and filter in the transmission, what was confusing is that only 6 litres come out, and 6 litres in to bring it up to the proper level.

RAVE says 11 though.... so a bit confused.

What have others found.....

11 litres is the dry fill quantity

you'll have 5 hiding in the TC and filter.

When you say 6 litres is that from the sump or did you also flush out the torque converter and oil cooler. When I did mine I drained the sump, changed filter and gasket, refilled , drove for a week then drained and refilled the oil for a second time.

Leaving it overnight, up on ramps, with the sump off, is usually good for another 500mls or so... ;)

That makes sense, thanks.

I suppose it was overkill buying a 20lt drum then wasn't it...

Will drain and flush again next week.

I did mine and used the Full 20L Drum to make sure everything was flushed through the Torque Convertor etc by undoing the Transmission Cooler Line and Flushing Fluid into a Bin etc....

Overkill but if you are changing the Filter (which I was) I felt it best to try and get everything as clean as possible...

I'm due to do it again soon (100,000km travelled)
