Would the two ounces of fluid be worth the effort? That'd be about 0.6% of the total fluid volume.

The cooler and lines hold about 3-4 liters (or 1/3 of the total fluid).

I highly doubt that. What are the lines, 75mm diameter and 6 meters long?

3-4 liters does seem to be a lot. I read somewhere 3-4 liters, but it makes more since to be around 500ml (1/2 liter). I'll measure it when I purge the cooler and lines.

I understand it will adapt automatically. There is absolutely no way to get a 100% fluid change with the transmission in the car. I cycled through a total of 17 liters and I probably achieved 85% to 90% total change.
