Calculation Methodology

Drain Ratio d = Pan Drain Volume / Total Sump Capacity. Fresh Fluid Percentage after N cycles = (1 - (1 - d)^N) * 100. Total Fluid Used = Pan Drain Volume * N.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because the torque converter, valve body passages, and external transmission cooler retain 50% to 65% of the total system fluid by gravity.
