Well from start to finish (with a pizza & drink break) and letting car cool off on jack stands for nearly an hour, I got it done in about 2 hours. I drained old fluids from filler hole then drain plug while at 110-120 degrees , I got about 3.7 qt out. I put in 4 quarts my initial run. I put the car in each gear waiting 5-10 seconds while in each one, I put the car in drive for 2-3 mins and just let the wheels turn and then went thru each of the 7 gears while on jack stands by applying brake for resistance. , drained (looked a lot better when it drained out this time) and did this Process again, I added about 5 quarts (1-1.5 too much to ensure I had enough) measure pan temp in 3-4 spots and I was between 95-105 degrees. Let excess pour out til it dripped and tightened all bolts on pan. Took it for a drive. And feels much smoother and no slips , noises or lights. Thanks everyone for the good advice and tips!
