DIY TC SST. Fluid change????
Hi I have read a lot about doing the SST fluid change but have read that after you drain the fluid you should start engine and let it idle for a minute or two with out putting new fluid in this is done to clear as much of the old fluid out before putting fresh oil in is this right or not ???? You then put Fresh oil in put foot on brake and go through all the gears Or would you bring all 4 wheels off the ground and allow wheels to spin through reverse neutral forward and park just need to get it right the first time. Thanks. Gary

Do not do this.

I've done it every year & it is best with 7L back in regardless of what comes out.
Hope that helps
I've never read before that one should start/run the car with no transmission oil in it. In fact, just from a common sense point of view it sounds absurd.
If you bought OEM Diaqueen, you'll have 8 litres. That's ~1 to 1.5 litres extra, that can be put through the fill hole as sort of a flush whilst during the oil change.
Mitsubishi's guide says to flush with mineral oil and to go through each gear for a few minutes (with wheels off the ground), I didn't do this as it was way too much effort and I anticipate 20k max to my next transmission oil change, a bit of the old oil left mixing with new shouldn't cause too much drama.

i can understand why that theory of starting the car to get the extra fluid out of the lines. this process is done on some older vehicles where the return line from the Trans Cooler is disconnected and fluid is pumped out as some new fluid is added in. but on a new car like a evo or RA with these advanced transmissions its asking for a lot of trouble
