If you are using an oil sucker, you are only getting the fluid from the pan.

Seems like a lot of wasted ATF for what you are trying to achieve.

No TC drain plug after 99 on 722.6. So, without the fancy machine that the dealer has, all anyone can get out is the fluid in the pan: 3.5 quarts. If one wants to get more than that, multiple drain and fills have to be done. I'm happy to "waste" some ATF to get cleaner fluid.
