Hey guys. I've got a 2008 4.6L with the 6R60 transmission. About 50k miles ago I had a shop drop the pan and change the filter/fluid. 50k miles later, I'm now looking to only pump out whatever fluid I can get to from the dipstick hole located under the the vehicle and would like to refill. I figure I'd just do a pump out and refill every 50k and then drop the pan and do a filter/fluid change every 100k. Question is, does anyone know about how much fluid I'll be able to pump out from the dipstick hole? I tried looking it up but can't find a definitive answer. I'm guessing somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 quarts, but since I have to buy the fluid online, I rather not underguess and be stuck waiting for more to ship in. Thanks for any help on this!
