Car has 80K and what you see already has 3 liters of fresh fluid mixed into it when I dropped the pan earlier, changed filter and put in a magnet.
Trust me it is a very very easy job. And no mess at all. And all that ATF is pumped out by the transmission with the engine at idle.so should be safe. ATF fluid is cheap so if you want to do a great job just go buy 15 liters and run it through the tranny.
I suspect that even if you botched up and pump too much out without filling in fresh fluid there should be no damage to the ATF because it is only for such a short time and engine is only at idle.
