I agree with Mishar. The filter and magnet does not need to be cleaned in majority of cases. If I ever decide to change my transmission oil I'll do exactly what Mishar recommended.

I believe that answers the question why just drain whatever can be drained and refresh it with 66% of a new ATF. Dropping pan on V8 is possible (I did that), but no fun and I wouldn't let just oil guys do it. So it becomes expensive. By the way, magnets and filter where clean.
I am puzzled by TSHong's "case" of 3 quarts low ATF. Transmission was obviously still working, what brings a question: how important is that temperature fiddling at the final level setting?

Have 108K on my 05 D3 and have never done a trans fluid change since I've owned it with 66K on it. Which brand and type of trans fluid do we use in the D3 and how much do I need to buy? I have the Triptronic trans. Thanks

Obviously the former option is much cheaper.
