[V8] transmission service

[Kneale Brownson]

Little tube in the engine compartment.  Parallels the engine oil dipstick tube.

When you open that drain in the bottom, you get  four quarts of fluid out.
Transmission holds 10 quarts.  The usual process is drain the initial 4,
install four new, run a ways, drain/fill 4 again, drive some and repeat
third time.  You're always mixing a little old with the new, but by the
third change you've got it pretty much renewed.
