3. Pull the parking brake and/or have someone with their foot on the brake pedal then start the car and put it D.
4. After draining 4-5 quarts or when color changes to the synthetic's shut off the car.
5. Reconnect lines and top off with the synthetic.

Any reasons why doing the above wouldn't work on the svx?
Yes Max, thats the way to do it, don't have to put it in D, Park will have the pump running.
