Thread Revival.

Did not make a DIY, but did figure out how many siphons or drains it takes to get up to % of fluid swap you desire.

It takes one qt. to fill the entire system. So says the manual.

I can siphon .24 qt. each time.
I siphon and fill and drive to mix it thoroughly.
4 siphons in on qt. According to my spread sheet, I will only get about 58% fluid swap using 1 qt. Pointless to continue with more than a quart. Good enough for me as I do not drive my car hard.
Should be fine for at least 2 more years then I will do it again.

edit. Error is spread sheet.

At 1 qt. of siphon process I get 67% change out 2 qt. of process gets me to 89% swap.
