That’s funny, like it has a CVT. They just depend on people being ignorant.

That or they seem to think the timing chain is in the transmission LOL

Yeah pan drop, filter change, throw it back together and put 7qts back in.

Most dealers try to sell you a flush, my local dealer only does the drain fill. I had the drain fill done @ 50k.

Man, my dealer got me with that flush BS. I went in and request just a change in transmission fluid. Every time I was talking to the service guy he kept referring to it as transmission flush. And I would correct him and say just fresh fluid. After about the 5th time I just assumed “flush” was their lingo for “new fluid”. Then comes the $3xx.xx bill and I was like wtf... sooo I had a transmission flush... now I know.

So dropping the pan will allow 7 quarts to drain?

Just realized the OP was a v6. That was the capacity of my v8 automatic trans when I did a pan drop and filter change. I don't know if the 6 is different. When I owned an LFX it was a manual and didn't take much gear oil when I would do the transmission servicing.

i kind of like watching it casue when the put the pouch of it in the transmission and squeeze it its kinda cool

On the v6 cars if you drop the pan and replace the filter it will take 7 qts. Don't over fill it.
