most transmissions hold 10-15qt 3.5qt is a waste . i'm not saying do a power flush but drain the radiator of fluid as well
I had a trans guy get my plug loose but said it was terrible to get loose. Crazy.
There is high likely the gasket will leak over any drain plug. Ummm...doesn't GM realize oil drain plugs are no issue so why the trans plug issue???
Never ever could rationalize the plug issue.
How many quarts does a 00-06 SUV 4L60 hold? Do you know? I will continue on my 'wasteful' ways as it has served me well. The proof is in the pudding, err....mileage.
Mine has not leaked one drop from the trans pan drain plug. YMMV....
I personally think a trans pan drain plug is a great improvement and understand it's usefulness.
?? What is this comment in response to? Thx
Yeah mine is fine too.
GM should stop being concerned about a $1bolt and more about engine leaks...
It’s Brent, just ignore him... sort of the class clown but in a dumb way. Not being rude it’s just that he is confusing at times, to himself.
when you bought it, that is the side the get the most wear and tear
A dry 4L60E with a new 12" converter will hold between 12-13 quarts of fluid, on average. Certain things will change this figure. If you add an auxillary cooler..How many quarts does a 00-06 SUV 4L60 hold? Do you know? I will continue on my 'wasteful' ways as it has served me well. The proof is in the pudding, err....mileage.
where did you get the transmission information only holds 3.5qt?
I keep a log on fuelly 22.4 mpg is my Average combined.. over 14,000 miles logged yes it has it's ups and downs but the average factor is 22.4mpg yeah it dropped from 23.5 as i have been doing mostly city driving since jan..
Don't forget a 2ML70 is just a 4L60E at the end of the day
don't be mad it has a 5th and 6th gear on it [EVT] at 40-45 mph the engine is barely spinning at 1,050-1,100 rpm
Gear Ratios 1st — 3.69:1 2nd — 1.70:1 3rd — 1.00:1 4th — 0.73:1 EVT #1 — Infinity to 1.70:1 EVT #2 — 1.70 to 0.50:1

I didn't buy anything.....Not sure if anyone bought anything in this thread. Your message is non sequitur I suppose.
I didn't. Might go back and read what I wrote about 3.5 qt. Thanks for clearing up the total capacity for BG1988
basically draining the pan is a waste still basically you did nothing... to change the fluid you have to "remove it all first" then install new fluid...
example:
bob was changing his oil 6qt of it, he drained it all changed the filter then refilled with 6 qt....
bob's oil only has 4500 miles and still clean bob then up-cycled his clean used oil into an older car...
We will have to agree to disagree here. I believe, like many others do, that changing ALL of the trans fluid on a used, higher mileage transmission is a bad idea. By changing a smaller portion, I am adding many additives by way of the new fluid, that are depleted in the old, original trans fluid. You don't have to agree and buy into it. As I've said....YMMV....but my factory original trans life speaks for itself.
