So as i promised i will give you my results of my M7 trans oil change
1st - i used Mobil 1 ATF (dex3 ) seems it placed second in test and beat out the Amsoil R.P. Ect Ect . @ 9.95 quart
2nd - it took 3.5 quarts once drained
3rd - oil was starting to gray but still red was dominate and i found small grit pieces in the oil you could feel them rubbing between you fingers and see them on the oil tray
no large metal flakes and since it was colder than usual in S.C. it was thicker than the Mobil 1 that i was putting in
Very easy for anyone to do this change (i have a Max Jax) so easy to get under and work , two plugs to be removed 3/8 drive end, and my fill method was a hose in the bottle cap and apply air use blow gun into bottle and it pushes up the hose and into the fill hole very easy
conclusion was it necessary at 12K miles, no Glad to put the synthetic in rather than the dino oil, it shifts less knotchy in 2nd in the cold, and i did get out some of the break in particles total cost was 40 dollars
