Didn't change but added a bottle of Lubeguard red to the 4L80E. Sure didn't take long to notice a difference!

2006 Dodge Durango 103k miles (purchased used with 98k miles)
Dropped pan, changed both filters, added Transgo shift kit, cleaned magnet, sealed pan with black RTV.
Out: unknown (clean red fluid that smelled really bad)
In: 6.5 qts Castrol Transmax +4.
Also changed the Transfer case and power steering, as they use the same fluid. Looks like previous owner never changed these fluids.

02 Silverado 5.3L - Last drain/refill for complete fluid changeover with Maxlife Dex/Merc and a bottle of Lubegard Red.
Dropped the pan a couple of weeks ago, cleaned the magnet and pan, and installed a new filter and replaced the lost Mercon V. This 1995 Town Car had just begun to have a bit of torque converter shudder about a week before this service. Said shudder was 100% totally gone on the very next drive after service.
Today, I installed an additional filter using a remote oil filter bracket, and I drained out about 3 more quarts of fluid and replace them as well. The remote, spin-on filter is something I've always wanted to do, and I've made it very easy to remove the whole setup as I have a tendency to buy different Lincolns somewhat regularly.
Using Havoline Mercon V. Bought a case and will drain and fill a few more times with it.

Drain and fill of Honda/Acura DW-1, third time in it's life. 10,080 miles since last change after buying the car. The MM code came up so I replaced the fluid to get on schedule.
Book says 2.6qts for service but mine needs over 3 to reach the hashmarks.
