This was the easiest DIY ever...I am mechanically challenged and even I pulled it off. Bought a little fluid transfer pump from Advance Auto and it worked great.

Thanks Mike!

Sorry for the bump but would this work for transmission fluid somewhat? I know you would have more trouble getting it out (I'm thinking tube down the dipstick) and yes you would have to use a LOT more fluid to ensure you get most of it changed but I feel like it would be SO much easier. I dunno.

Also I used a brake bleeder bottle and a syringe to syphon the old fluid out of the reservoir. The syringe is only needed to start the process. It is a bit slow but leaves virtually no mess.

graph literally means nothing, not account for the old fluid removed in the beginning. You start with a higher percentage.
