I’d make some calls on that one cause this one is expensive either by SEVERAL pan drops to clear the torque converter and the cooler and really, how many partial oil changes would it take to clear all the water out, can’t even imagine.I'm not really knowledgeable on how to change water in the AT…
If one was to go by the ambiguous book that says ‘if the oil is contaminated with water etc, change the oil’. Is it saying via many pan drops or is it recommending a flush? Who knows?? This is where FCA would have to tell the OP how to best do this OR contact ZF in Germany and get their recommendation.
I did a flush on the first transmission that had glycol contamination in it and the flush used 17 quarts. I think the cost for a litre up here in Canada is $45-50/litre.
I would go the most cheapest route first and get an oil analysis at blackstone labs or Polaris labs FIRST and not guess on this one.
At least the other components (diffs, transfer case) hold around 1.5 quarts or so. It would be a good time to pop the diff covers and clean the locker magnets off at the same time if PO has lockers. (Gaskets are reusable)
