That's a relief. Sometimes those online parts catalogues don't give complete information.
What quantity of ATF should I have at hand for the drain and refill? I guess its going to be the sump only, so 2l?

Re: Automatic fluid change
Spec is 5.7L, but you wont get that all out as thats a factory fill figure (and oil is in places you cant drain)
It says fill with approx 2L, then start engine, shift through all selector lever positions with vehicle stationary, then check level and top up

Re: Automatic fluid change
Thanks again. I'll get 3l in case needed. Thinking to add approx 2l then do same again next year (assuming there are no contraindications like wear/debris).

Re: Automatic fluid change
Its a 'filled for life' box so as such should not require yearly changes

Re: Automatic fluid change
That is true. I'm curious to see what comes out.
