Default Re: How To - Transmission Filter/Fluid Replace

I just called the dealership and told them that I had asked for a flush and wanted it done right.
He said that is was a service, and I said "well, yeah" he said that "services only drop the pan"???
He then proceeded to tell me that if I wanted a complete flush done to it, I would need 15 qts of tranny oil for the machine to get all of the air and old oil out of the tranny and then to put the new in.
This is false, right?? I only need 8.5 qts, which they used 3 of my 9.
I REALLY need to know if it is safe to drive the car 2 hours away to an auto shop to get it done right, with TWO different transmission fluids in it.
Three qts. of the AMSOIL I posted above, and the rest OLD fluid?
