Plus not to mention it makes it 100x easier to drop the pan AFTER you drain the bulk of the fluid out..and you dont get the tranny fluid all over the driveway when the gasket lets loose and the pan drops and slings oil all over the place
I guess syphoning out the fluid and replacing it 2x to 3x before changing the filter is ok...unless it has been used to tow or something extreme like very long times idling or run hot, plus it keeps the fluid in the system fresh
Good call RIP
