Remember that if you're not using a flush system like in the shops you're not going to be able to remove all 6.2 quarts of tranny fluid out. The torque converter on average holds about a quart of fluid.

89 300TE, and 68 280sel
I am chagning my tranny cooler lines and my fluid and filter this weekend, I think I am going for Royal Purple or some sinthetic. I had royal purple in my rear diff in the 400E and it made a difference in mileage.
