That's the truth. I don't think the 4th gens do. No idea about 5th gens. I've been trying to do annual drain and fills anyhow.

Nothing wrong with that at all..I don't run it because 3 gallons if it is quite expensive anymore.

It was $110 w/tax for 13 quarts at local dealer, not too bad. In one year (5K) I'll do a full drain (x4) using valvoline blue and go annual from there.
Luck to us all !!

At 60K I did a fluid swap and put Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF in the trans. I'm at almost 155K now and planning to do a fluid swap again.
I was going to use the Valvoline Maxlife but the Mobil 1 is on clearance at Autozone. Depends on region I think but it's anywhere from $2 - $6 a quart at present. I bought 13 quarts, all my local Autozone had in stock and will be using that in the trans again.

I got ATF+4 from them on close out for 99 cents a quart. I still got 3 gallons left….sold my truck that used it.

My thoughts precisely.
Using Dex/Merc conventional fluid here. No issues, and not interested in creating issues by changing fluids to what's trending.

Are you using a machine for a full fluid exchange or just doing multiple drain and fills?

The one I did at 60K I used some kind of transfer machine I had access to at the time. You fill up one side with new fluid, hook it up, and it swaps the fluid.
I'm about to do it again 100K miles later and I'm going to drain the trans at the pan. Refill with however much comes out. Then disconnect the trans line at the radiator and put it in a big bucket. Fire up the truck and let it drain while I add fluid at the dip stick port.
I got this bucket since it's graduated and was on sale for $12 Amazon.com: Rubbermaid Commercial Space Saving Food Storage Container, 8 Quart, Clear (FG630800CLR) : Home & Kitchen
I was gonna go with Valvoline Max ATF, but when I was at the store getting supplies I saw they had Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF on clearance for like $6 a quart so I bought all they had (13 qts) and will just use that. I used Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF at 60K and it's been great for the past 100K.

I gotcha. I picked up some Valvoline MaxLife ATF this morning from Walmart (a 5 quart jug/1gal) for $27.48 out the door. Not horrible but it'll do the job and it'll do it well so I'm not going to lose sleep over it. I can't afford to run AMSOIL right now so this will have to be the next best thing. I didn't see any Mobil1 ATF there, at least that I recall.

I have graduated buckets when I change mine.
I use clear hoses, too. I just been experimenting with thr transfer pumps. The Amazon pump on the cheaper side are junk.
I have a disel transfer pump that works well just way to big of the inlets 1 inch.
I am hoping fuel pumps will work as that be a simple setup
