if you're picking up new car soon, these two articles might help plan out approach.

First 20m & 1000mile, essentially, change oil.

One can do too little, and too much. Always get it hot first,
212F ideal temp where viscosity is optimum.

the reasonable approach:

note transmission comments.

more detailed, and rigorous:
