the only thing I would change is after you put in the first 4 quarts
with engine off, start it and leave engine running for the remander.

TIPS ON CHANGING TRANSMISSION FLUID
Mickey, The BIGGEST problem is getting the torque converter drain plug into
position! Once you have it lined up - PUT a paint mark on the crank damper
so you can easily find it NEXT time!! Then a 5 mm hex (allen) to remove the
plug and the fluid runs out. Replace the plug with a new washer (comes with
the filter) and torque to - DUH - no manuals to look it up - I think it's
about 20 ft-lbs, but CHECK IT! To refill - put 3-4 qts. of fluid into the
transmission, start the engine and allow to run for a minute or so (run
through the gears) to fill the torque converter, then shut down and add all
but the last 1/2 qt of fluid. Then go for a 20-minute drive. When the fluid
is HOT (after 15-20 minutes of driving) the level should be at the MAX
mark - LOW and MAX marks are about 300 ml (a little more then 1/2 pt) apart.
Add fluid 'til it near or at the MAX mark - DO NOT OVER FILL! With your
transmissi0on the fluid should be about 10mm below the LOW/ADD mark when
cold, but it's the warm/hot level that important.

Hello all,
How much transmission fluid do I need to change the transmission fluid in my
1985 300SD, I'm going to drain the converter too. Also any tips would be
appreciated.
Thanks
