This article is filled with multiple falsehoods. #1) by draining the automatic transmission fluid by removing the pan and replacing the filter, that only changes about 1/3 to 1/2 of the transmissions fluid capacity. Most modern automatic transmissions require 10-12 quarts of fluid for a complete capacity. Dropping the pan only drains 4-6 quarts of fluid on most transmissions. #2) flushing transmission fluid DOES NOT utilize HIGH PRESSURE. A transmission flush is done by tapping into the cooler lines. The cooler lines on most transmissions only see 20 lbs of pressure OR LESS. The pump inside the transmission creates much more pressure than that in some parts of the transmission. So that is false. #3) many YouTube videos exist that state the contrary of this article. #4) The biggest thing that helps a transmission but simply draining 1/3 to 1/2 of the fluid is by replacing it with clean fresh fluid. #5) if a transmission has burnt fluid, that is when, and only then when it's risky to flush automatic transmission fluid. #6,#7 &#8) this author of this article did absolutely no research on this top whatso ever. Had this author done ANY research, they would have easily found multiple items to the contrary. The article's author should be banned for reporting such lies and their editor should also be held liable for slander.
