I'm coming up on ATF change time and I figured I'd give Mobil-1 a try. I'm told it's the shizznat, especially for old-gearbox guys like me. I do know about the whole torque-converter issue with changing the fluid yourself and would like to swap out all the fluid, so I was thinking about letting a shop do it, like AAMCO or something. Thing is, how much fluid do you need to do a full-out flush? I'm concerned that the 10qt the tranny holds won't be enough since you have to blow the old stuff out. Anybody every have anyone do this?

 

I'm just curious. I'm probably going to do a drain-replace-drive-drain-replace-drive-drain-replace job on it.

i called a quick lube place and they would not do subaru's , i did it my self, drained out a/t fluid , poured it into jugs and knew how much i got out and replaced it with the same amount + did front diff and rear

My local lube joint did my 97 obw recently. They pumped via the cooling lines at the radiator. They let me watch the whole thing.

Did they give you the option of picking your ATF?

Yes. I choose normal ATF because I was not very informed about the Mobil 1 ATF (I've still not really decided it's worth it). I may be misguided here.

 

I do run Mobil 1 in the engine however.
