D16A7 hooked up to M48A slush pump.

Apparently you can replace your ATF at home by draining what will come out and filling the amount that comes out 3 times. So i want to do this.

But i was wondering, how much should come out if i just open the drain hole and let it go? I need to know so i don't buy 5 times too much or one fifth of what i need lol.

Auto trans have a dipstick with markings just like your oil dipstick.

Use only Honda ATF or suffer the consequences.

My manual specifies Dexron 2 or Honda ATF.

Honda ATF costs $30 a liter here.

Caltex Dexron 2 Suitable stuff is $50 for 4 liters.

What does it say in the U.S Manuals?

And nobody answered my question, which was likely so unclear i'm not surprised, whats is the fluid capacity of the transmission?
