If using a weight measurement on the tranny, on future fills you would have 
to subtract the worn and removed metal from your tare amount.  Easy enough, 
just incinerate the used oil and weigh the remaining metal taking into 
consideration the amount of ash from the used oil.  Subtract that amount from your tare.
