Eagle Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 In the interest of full disclosure, I am a manual transmission kind of guy. But ... my wife's 2000 XJ is an automatic. I want to do a partial fluid change -- I'm not going to get into dropping the tranny pan, I just want to pull the drain plug, let it drip out, then refill. I'll rinse and repeat in 20,000 miles or so. Does anyone know approximately how much fluid comes out from a simple pan drain operation? How many quarts of Dexron will I need to top it off after draining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKid45 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 IIRC A drain and refill takes about 5-7 qts. 2 Gallons of Dex/Merc should be plenty :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvusse Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 If it has never been done before, you're way overdue for a filter change. As for your question, I think I have it written down somewhere at the shop. Will check when I make it there later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 3.75 quarts for just the pan. Put 3 quarts in, start it up, add as needed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKid45 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 It has been a good while since i was in there......sorry, 3-4 qts sounds much more reasonable, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
