ATF Flush $179.99 worth it?

^^ Ah ...ok, that would make sense then. But still, as I was told by my dealer, they aren't even supposed to do that unless there is a specific necessity to; it's not recommend for just maintenance. Something along the lines of it potentially creating more problems for a used tranny than they'd be preventing.

Next, I drain the fluid overnight so it's at room temp in the drain pan the next day. Then I just pour it into the milk jugs for measurement. If you get a 'good' drain, you'll probably have more than a gallon, but it could also come in right around it too. Anyway, for any jug that's not full, I just set it next to a another empty jug, which I then fill with water that I pour from a 1-quart measuring cup so I can tell exactly how much water it took to fill the jug to the same height as the tranny fluid jug (sitting next to it).
If you are careful with the handling of the fluid during the draining and transferring to the jugs, you can account for all but a couple tablespoons (tops) of residue along the way; or just an extra 'sip' from the bottle when you're refilling. The good thing is, when you're all done, the fluid is all packed and ready to go to the hazardous recycle drop.
