How much fluid rfe68 simple drain no filter change

[JackFate]

On a simple drain with no filter change how much do I need . I also see when solonide was changed on a recall they used sealant. I thought gasket was reusable? Maybe not now? And would the solonide change qualify as a fluid change?as fluid was on invoice.

You may want to specify what year and the mileage IMHO. I am sure you did a search and found there are guys using from 8-12 qts. When I did mine I measured what came out and because I upgraded to a Mag-Hytec pan it added 2 quarts (total was 11.5 qts) after letting it drain overnight. As far as the solenoid is concerned, I would ask the more experienced guys on here. My 16 only had 60K miles on it and was performing fine, but I am now towing a 12K lb 5th wheel more, again the reason for the Mag- Hytec and has been performing well. So I did not need a new solenoid. I did see kits for sale on Amazon which included the solenoid. Is your transmission not shifting right?

Why won't you change your filters? How many miles was your last filters and oil changed on your truck? This is very cheap insurance to insure that your transmission has a healthy life!
Just my $0.02

If the dealer did the solenoid change they would have dumped the fluid. I don't think I have ever seen a technician save the fluid, even though there is not reason not to in many cases.

It’s a 2016 cclb 4x4 39,000 miles.
Nothing wrong just trying to keep maintenance up to date so warranty stays intact. Seems wasteful when truck doesn’t go anywhere. 1400 miles last 6 months with 150 miles towing 8000#. Sits In climate controlled shop. CCV coming up soon

Sealant is standard, the older trannys had reusable gasket.
