Now, this is not a problem for the dealer because they use the Consult II, there is actually a trans fluid sensor that only the ECU can read and it's not accessible through OBD
Ok sounds good. I’m just gonna use common sense (drain and measure, whatever comes out, I’ll put back in, maybe a tiny bit more to be safe) the first drain.

Second time. I’ll let it cool to proper temp, drain, then between 95-113 (roughly 104) I’ll add until fluid starts to drip out of transmission filler hole and then I’ll replace filler plug.
