Sorry about that. I wasn't at all clear about what I meant. What I meant was to replace as much of the old fluid as possible, then add the lubegard. One could do a flush, which is not recommended, or do several drains and refills in a row. Each drain and refill leaves 60% of the old fluid. After two, you are left with 36%. After three, 21.6%. If you pull out the filter, you leave less behind each time. So either you go through the pain of doing that several times or you do more iterations of the standard drain and refill, which will cause you to need to buy quite a bit of fluid. Someone once posted a technique of turning the engine over to drain more fluid out. That might be the best idea. The thing is, if your current fluid is so old that it started coating everything with laquer, you want to get as much out of there as possible.
