- 2003 Lincoln Aviator
Did some work on the Aviator today.
Replaced the catalytic converter system, and replaced the trans filter.
I've done some reading and a lot of people are saying they're only getting about 3 qts out when they drain/drop the pan and replace the filter.
Well, my 7 qt drain pan is full close to the very top, so I got at LEAST 5, probably about 6 qts. The trans was rebuilt by Lincoln about 30k ago. I suppose it's possible they had a bit too much fluid in it.
So I put 6 back in. When I started the engine to see how the flow looked it was a little bubbly (symptom of an over-filled trans, right?), and not a very steady flow.
Should I just let it drain for a while? Should it smooth out eventually?
