Got a tad over 6.5qts when all was said and done, but I only let it drain for ~20 minutes.
Added Lucas and ATF until the dipstick said the trans was at the correct level. Took the car for a brief spin and re-checked ATF level. Everything looks good. -Chike

A few things: Change your fluid as often as possible. The main reason that a transmission fails is heat. Transmissions get really hot with bad fluid dirty fluid, and the worst thing is once a fluid has been overheated, it loses all the good properties that make ATF useful. Even if it gets overheated ONCE. I'll try to find hte link about ATF fluid temperatures and ATF fluid life. I always use wheel ramps to change my fluids, and when I drain the ATF I usually have to add about 5-6.5 quarts. I don't jack up one side, just use the wheel ramps.
Also, make sure when you're refilling that you put the transmission in R, N, D, and 3,2,1 (the last three just to be safe, because I don't think it would actually be any different than D, but it's just superstition I guess). |

Anyway, it doesn't visibly burn oil any more. I may have (and probably did) trade a problem I can see for one or more that I can't, but at least it's not embarrassing.

After my 20 minute drive to work, I double-check the ATF level on the dipstick and it was still at the 'F' level. -Chike
