I've been reading several posts about DIY transmission drain and fill. I research and complete all the oil, filters, drain and fills, etc. on my vehicles. The 62TE is very simple. The key is to always do it at the same trans temp and therefore you only need to measure it once, making all future drains quicker. I always do mine on a Saturday or Sunday morning with a cold transmission. You will need a collection pan with capacity numbers labeled on it. Raise you vehicle and start to slowly take off the bolts to the pan. Once the fluid starts to leak through, give it some time to drain in your pain making it much lighter as you take off the remaining bolts. Remove the filter and make sure you empty any fluid in the filter into your collection pan. The amount collected will be the amount you will replace with ATF+4 fluid. I believe mine was approximately 5 qts. I replaced the OEM pan with the one linked below that has a drain plug making your next drain super EASY! The cost is around $55 but wow, your next drain and fill is so easy as you really don't need to replace the filter each time. I hope this helps and saves on your wallet!
