Gravity oil change generally requires about 4 liters of fluid, while a flush oil change requires about 12 liters. Here is some extended information about transmission fluid: Methods of changing transmission fluid: Gravity oil change: Simply loosen the drain plug. The characteristics are simplicity and low fluid consumption per change, usually requiring about 4 liters per change. It is inexpensive, but the drawback is that it doesn’t clean thoroughly, requiring 2 to 3 changes. Flush oil change: A machine is connected to the transmission fluid port to "push in" new transmission fluid and "push out" the old fluid. The advantage is a more thorough change, but it requires more transmission fluid, typically 10-12 liters, and is more expensive. Points to note when changing transmission fluid: Consider whether to change based on mileage and the smoothness of gear shifting. For example, if you noticeably feel hesitation or sluggishness during gear shifts, it’s time for a change. Follow the vehicle’s manual for specific maintenance cycles; online suggestions are for reference only. Transmission fluid must be vehicle-specific. Different gears and transmission types have strict requirements for transmission fluid. Using the wrong type can have serious consequences, so never use the wrong specification.
