why do you say "don't know if I would want to drain more than qt at a time?
Don't know what would happen if oil pressure got low. If you pump until you get bubbles then something is running dry.
If you drain the pan, then fill back to full, then the trans ought to be able to handle being a quart low (since that's what the low level or add level is there for).
I've heard autos don't like being overfilled but at idle and not going anywhere I don't know if matters if you can overfill by a quart and then drain two at a time. All I know is, if I'm only doing this every 2-3 years / 50k or similar, then it's not exactly a huge amount of time spent.
