I did this about a year ago. Buy 15 quarts. Yeah, its not cheap. I found exactly 3 quarts drained out every time I opened the tranny drain plug. I basicly drove my 40mi round trip to work and back and every afternoon when I got home drained out the three quarts. Did it 5 times and it was nice and red. Cheaper then a tranny failure or dealer visit... No way id leave it in there forever like the dipstick say...

I did it twice and it looks pretty good. I do it again next oil change. Then I should be good to go 'til about 160,000.

Yep, cheaper than tranny trouble and as very quick and easy to do.
