4th drain/refill cycle done this afternoon using the vacuum extractor. It's super easy this way.
3.2L today, so not sure if the probe tip ended up in a slightly different position, car was sloped slightly differently, transmission temp different, etc, etc...
Dare I say it, but the fluid extracted has a bit of a purple hue now and smells good - if you like the smell of ATF. It's a million miles away from where it was when I started this procedure a month ago.
I have about 5L of fluid left, so will do the final cycle next weekend, from the bottom and also do the factory level setting procedure and replace the washer and o-ring while I am at it.
It's also really nice to be able to see the ATF temperature using the OBDII scanner. That will be helpful for the final levelling procedure next week.
